Question

a. Use VSEPR to predict bond angles at the marked atom. The angle is : _______ degrees. The expected hybridization at the marked atom is _____ . b. Use VSEPR to predict bond angles at the marked atom. The angle is : _______ degrees. The expected hybridization at the marked atom is _____ .

Answer 1

Answer: Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question with the missing diagrams

a) The angle = 120°

hybridization = sp2

b) The angle = 120°

hybridization = sp2

Step-by-step explanation:

a) using VSPER to predict bond angles

Given that there is the presence of 1 double bond to C and 2 single bonds one to C and one to H around the marked atom which equals 3 sets of electrons surrounding the central atom.

hence according to VSPER theory the angle = 120° while the Hybridization = sp2

b) Using VSPER to predict bond angles at marked atom

Given that there is There is 1 double bond to C and 2 single bonds to the different C atoms respectively around the marked atom, which makes 3 sets of electorns surrounding the central atom

hence according to VSPER theory the angle = 120° while the Hybridization = sp2
