Interpretation:
Reason for the differences in bond lengths of the given
Concept Introduction:
Hybridization is the mixing of valence atomic orbitals to get equivalent hybridized orbitals that having similar characteristics and energy.
Bond length is the distance between the nuclei in a bond and it is related to the sum of the covalent radii at the bonded atoms.
Sigma (σ) bonds are the bonds in which shared hybrid orbital’s electron density are concentrated along the internuclear axis.
Pi (π) bonds are the bonds in which shared unhybridized orbital’s (p, d, etc) electron density are concentrated in above and below of the plane of the molecule.

- Fluorene is essentially non-polar. Briefly explain, with respect to atoms that are present and absent in fluorene, and their relative electronegativities, why fluorene is non-polar.arrow_forwardFf.178.arrow_forwardSpecify whether the two structures are resonance contributors to the same resonance hybrid. Be sure to explain your reasoning. If yes, be sure to specify which is preferred and why. H2C=NH2arrow_forward
- Four major contributing resonance structures are possible for the given cation, which is the intermediate o complex of an electrophilic aromatic substitution involving phenol and bromine. Two structures are given but are incomplete. Complete the given structures by adding nonbonding electrons and formal charges. Draw the remaining structures (in any order), including nonbonding electrons and formal charges. Complete structure A. Complete structure B. : 0 H :0- Br : Brarrow_forwardDraw four different resonance structures for the following molecule. Draw curvedarrows to show the movement of pi bonds lone pairs or charges. Show formal charges on eachstructure if necessary and identify the major resonance contributor.arrow_forwardThe bond lengths of ethane, ethene, and ethyne were determined, and a graph of the C-H bond length vs. % s-character of the C hybrid orbital was made. Comment on the observed trend, additionally. How would this trend change if C-H bond energy vs. % s-character of the C hybrid orbital was graphed? Which hydrocarbon has the strongest carbon-carbon bond?arrow_forward
