**Text:**
Carbon uses [orbitals] hybrid orbitals in the molecule below.
**Diagram:**
The diagram illustrates a Lewis structure of a molecule, specifically Cl-C≡N. Detailed explanation:
- The Chlorine (Cl) atom is depicted with three lone pairs of electrons surrounding it, represented as three pairs of dots.
- The Carbon (C) atom is shown bonded to the Chlorine (Cl) atom via a single bond (−).
- The Carbon (C) atom is also triple-bonded to a Nitrogen (N) atom, depicted with three lines (≡) representing the triple bond.
- The Nitrogen (N) atom is presented with one lone pair of electrons, depicted as a pair of dots beside it.
**Open Space/Box:**
There is an empty rectangular box below the diagram. This might be intended for user input or for providing a response related to the hybrid orbitals used by the Carbon atom in the given molecule.
---
For more detailed understanding:
- **Hybrid Orbitals:** When answering which orbitals carbon uses in this molecule, consider the type of bonds it forms. In this case, carbon forms a triple bond (sp hybridization) and a single bond (sp² hybridization).
For educational purposes, understanding the concept of hybridization can help in predicting the geometry and bond angles within the molecules.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F42517a3c-1f9e-4cb9-8a60-b8d73ceb2073%2F13758efb-92cd-4c34-add4-4ab1d14988d4%2Fjcutgco_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
