Chapter 3, Problem 3.26P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Among molecules A and B, the molecule which has longer C=C distance is to be determined. Also the molecule which has stronger C=C bonds is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Hybridization affects both bond length and bond strength. The two sp hybrid atomic orbitals are formed by mixing one s orbital and one of the three p orbitals from the valence shell. Each sp hybrid orbital formed has 50% s character and 50% p character. Three sp2 hybrid atomic orbitals are formed by mixing one s orbital and two of the three p orbitals from the valence shell. Each sp2 hybrid orbital formed has 33.33%s character and 66.67% p character. Four sp3 hybrid atomic orbitals are formed by mixing the one s orbital and three p orbitals from the valence shell. Each sp3 hybrid orbital formed has 25% s character and 75% p character. As the s character increases, the hybrid atomic orbital becomes more compact. The bonds formed by shorter atomic orbitals are shorter in length. The shorter bonds connecting the same atoms are stronger. Therefore, as the hybridization of an atom changes from sp3 to sp2 to sp, its bonds become shorter and stronger.

For the titration of a divalent metal ion (M2+) with EDTA, the stoichiometry of the reaction is typically: 1:1 (one mole of EDTA per mole of metal ion) 2:1 (two moles of EDTA per mole of metal ion) 1:2 (one mole of EDTA per two moles of metal ion) None of the above
