McMurry (kap.1,7) - SP3 hybridization and structure of ethene Flashcards
1
Q
When an C-H bond occurs, it is the overlap of a sp3 orbital of C, with the S orbital of H.
When an C-C bond occurs, it is the overlap of a sp3 orbital of C with another orbital of C.
Is that true?
A
Yes.
2
Q
Are the bonds found in ethane stronger then those found in methane?
A
No they are a little bit weaker.
3
Q
