Homework answers / question archive / If more than one bond angle is possible, separate each with a space
| If more than one bond angle is possible, separate each with a space. For example, trigonal bipyramid geometry can lead to 3 different bond angles. Octahedral geometry can lead to 2. |
A. What is the hybridization of the central atom in NOBr?
| Hybridization = |
B. What are the approximate bond angles in this substance?
Bond angles =
Answer:
A) For NOBr
The central atom in this molecule, must make a single bond with another atom, and a double bond with the last atom. The central atom requires one of its p orbitals to remain unhybridized to form the pi bond, as one of the bonds in the double bond. The other two p orbitals will be hybridized with its s orbital.
Hybridization: sp2
b. bond angles are 120
