(a)
Interpretation:
The hybridization of central atom in following molecular structure should be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
The molecular structure is a 3-dimensional representation of bond pairs around the central atom. It is also known as molecular geometry. Electron geometry is a 3-dimensional representation of bond pairs and lone pair around the central atom.
Shape corresponds to electron geometry and geometry corresponds to molecular geometry or structure.

- Aspartame is a compound that is 200 times sweeter than sugar and is used extensively (under the trade name NutraSweet) in diet soft drinks. The skeleton structure of the atoms in aspartame is (a) Complete the Lewis structure and give the number of and bonds in aspartame. (b) What is the hybridization about each carbon atom that forms a double bond with an oxygen atom? (c) What is the hybridization about each nitrogen atom?arrow_forwardIn each of the following molecules, a central atom is surrounded by a total of three atoms or unshared electron pairs: SnCl2, BCl3, SO2. In which of these molecules would you expect the bond angle to be less than 120? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forward7.57 What observation about molecules compels us to consider the hybridization of atomic orbitals?arrow_forward
- • explain how hybridization reconciles observed molecular shapes with the orbital overlap model.arrow_forwardWhat hybrid orbitals would be expected for the central atom in each of the following molecules or ions?arrow_forwardWhen two amino acids react with each other, they form a linkage called an amide group, or a peptide link. (If more linkage. are added, a protein or polypeptide is formed.) (a) What are the hybridizations of the C and N atoms in the peptide linkage? (b) Is the structure illustrated the only resonance structure possible for the peptide linkage? If another resonance structure is possible. compare it with the o ne shown. Decide which is the more important structure. (c) The computer-generated structure shown here, which contains a peptide linkage, shows that this linkage is flat. This is an important feature of proteins. Speculate on reasons that the CONH linkage is planar. What are the sites of positive and negative charge in this dipeptide?arrow_forward
