Welcome to the NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Chemistry - Chapter Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure. This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question from Exercise 1, Question 30:
Which hybrid orbitals are used by carbon atoms in the following molecules?
(a)CH3–CH3;
(b) CH3–CH=CH2;
(c) CH3-CH2-OH;
(d) CH3-CHO
(e) CH3COOH
. With detailed answers and explanations for each chapter, students can strengthen their understanding and prepare confidently for exams. Ideal for CBSE and other board students, this resource will simplify your study experience.Which hybrid orbitals are used by carbon atoms in the following molecules?
(a)CH3–CH3;
(b) CH3–CH=CH2;
(c) CH3-CH2-OH;
(d) CH3-CHO
(e) CH3COOH
Hybrid orbital are formed by the overlapping of orbitals having almost same energy.
Single bond= one sigma bond = sp3 hybridization
Double bond = one sigma bond + one pie bond = sp2 hybridization
Triple bond = one sigma bond + two pie bond = sp hybridization
(a)

According to structure, C1 & C2 are making 4 sigma bonds(single bond) each with the help of one s hybrid orbital & 3 p hybrid orbital, hence C1& C2 are sp3 hybridised
(b)

Here C1 is making 4 sigma bond therefore it s sp3 hybridised , while C2 and C3 are making a double bond( 1 sigma + 1 pie bond ) therefore they both are sp2 hybridized.
(c)

Both the carbons C1 & C2 are making single bond(sigma bond),therefore they are sp3hybridized.
(d)

From the structure it is clear that C1 is making sigma bonds only, therefore it is sp3 hybridised.C2 is making a double bond therefore it is sp2 hybridised.
C1 is sp3 hybridized and C2 is sp2 hybridized.
(e)

Here C1 is making a sigma bond therefore it is in sp3 hybridization state, while C2 is making a double bond ,it is in sp2 hybridised state.
