Question
Chapter 2, Problem 45P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
In the preparation of dichlorodimethylsilane, whether the carbon atom in chloromethane is oxidized, reduced, or neither, is to be determined; and the hybridization state and the principal quantum numbers of the hybridized s and p orbitals of silicon in dichlorodimethylsilane are to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Reduction of carbon occurs when a bond between carbon and a more electronegative atom than carbon is replaced by a less electronegative atom.
Hybridization of an atom depends on the number of atoms or groups that are bonded to it and any unshared electron pairs on it.
The principal quantum number n of an orbital is the shell number to which the orbital belongs.
