(a)
Interpretation:
Bond angle in
Concept Introduction:
The bond angle is the angle formed between two bonded atoms in a covalent species. It decides the molecular geometry of a molecule. For example in molecule
The table that relates hybridization with % s character is as follows:
Bond angle is directly related to % s character in a molecule.
Hybridization is calculated by the hybrid orbitals and to calculate hybrid orbitals we need to know the steric number that is given by,
The table that relates the steric number with hybridization is as follows:
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether

- A mixture of three compounds Phen-A, Acet-B and Rin-C was analyzed using TLC with 1:9 ethanol: hexane as the mobile phase. The TLC plate showed three spots of R, 0.1 and 0.2 and 0.3. Which of the three compounds (Phen-A; Acet-B or Rin-C) would have the highest (Blank 1), middle (Blank 2) and lowest (Blank 3) spot respectively? 0 CH: 0 CH, 0 H.C OH H.CN OH Acet-B Rin-C phen-A A A <arrow_forwardHow many chiral carbons are in the molecule?
