Question
Chapter 4, Problem 4.46AP
(a)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The bond angles in tert-butyl cation has to be predicted.
(b)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The hybridization of carbon bearing the positive charge has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Hybridization:
Hybridization is defined as intermixing of atomic or molecular orbital. The valance orbitals of an atom is allowed to combine with valence orbital of another orbital. The resulting orbitals forms a bond and these orbitals are known as hybridized orbital.
(c)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A balanced chemical equation between tert-butyl cation and water as Lewis acid with water has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Balanced Chemical equation:
A balanced chemical equation is an equation which contains same elements in same number on both the sides (reactant and product side) of the chemical equation thereby obeying the law of conservation of mass.
(d)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A balanced chemical equation between tert-butyl cation and water as Bronsted-Lowary acid with water has to be given.
