Question: What is the hybridisation of indicated atoms in each of the following?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer:

  1. sp2
  2. sp2
  3. sp3
  4. sp
  5. sp2
  6. sp3

Step by step solution

01

How to decide on hybridisation.

In case of single bond that is when the atom makes single bonds only then the hybridisation is sp3.

In case of double bond that is when the atom makes double bond with other atoms then its hybridisation is sp2

In case of triple bond that is when the atom makes triple bond with other atoms then its hybridisation is sp

02

Finding out the hybridisation

a.

sp2 as the carbon atom makes a double bond with the neighbouring carbon atom.

b.

sp2 as the oxygen shares a double bond with the carbon.

c.

sp3as the oxygen forms a single bond with the neighbouring carbon atom.

d.

sp as the nitrogen atom forms a triple bond with the adjacent carbon atom.

e.

sp2 as the nitrogen atom shares a double bond with the carbon.

f.

as the oxygenforms a singlebond with the neighbouring carbon atom.
