Chapter 1, Problem 63ASP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The correct hybridization state and geometry for carbon atom in HCN should be identified.

Concept Introduction: The concept of mixing two atomic orbitals that possess almost same energy resulting in formation of new hybridized orbitals that are suitable for pairing the electrons to form chemical bond is said to be hybridization.

Hello I am a bit confused and I need help. 1. Are inorganic compounds more susceptible compared to organic compounds when it comes to oxidation and combustion reaction? 2. Can carbon atoms bond to almost every element in the periodic table? 3. Do reactions between covalent organic molecules proceed more slowly and only happens at lower temperatures with or without catalysts? 4. In order to give four new hybrid orbitals, it is assumed that the four equivalent orbitals are formed by blending the 2p and the three 2s atomic orbitals of a carbon atom?
