Organic Structures

Identify the hybrid and non-hybrid atomic orbitals (s, p, sp, sp^2, sp^3) formed by the following. (a) the C(1) atom in 3-nonene, an alkene This carbon atom forms 4 equivalent sp^3 orbitals. This carbon atom forms 3 equivalent sp^2 orbitals and retains 1 rho orbital. This carbon forms 2 equivalent sp orbitals and retains 2 rho orbitals. This carbon does not hybridize and retains its s and all 3 rho orbitals. (b) the C(4) atom in 4-nonene, an alkene This carbon atom forms 4 equivalent sp^3 orbitals. This carbon atom forms 3 equivalent sp^2 orbitals and retains 1 rho orbital. This carbon forms 2 equivalent sp orbitals and retains 2 rho orbitals. This carbon does not hybridize and retains its s and all 3 rho orbitals. (c) the C(4) atom in 4-nonyne, an alkyne This carbon atom forms 4 equivalent sp^3 orbitals. This carbon atom forms 3 equivalent sp^2 orbitals and retains 1 rho orbital. This carbon forms 2 equivalent sp orbitals and retains 2 rho orbitals. This carbon does not hybridize and retains its s and all 3 p orbitals.
