The C - C Sigma Bond in HCCCl Is Most

question 41

Multiple Choice

The C - C sigma bond in HCCCl is most reasonably formed from overlap of:

• A) a sp² orbital on HC carbon atom and a sp² orbital on CCl carbon atom.
• B) a sp orbital on HC carbon atom with a sp orbital on CCl carbon atom.
• C) a sp² orbital on HC carbon atom with a sp orbital on CCl carbon atom.
• D) a sp³ orbital on HC carbon atom with a sp³ orbital on CCl carbon atom.
• E) none of these

Definitions:

σ Bonds

Atomic orbitals overlap linearly to form a sigma bond, providing a strong covalent bond between atoms.

Parallel P Orbitals

P orbitals that are oriented in the same spatial direction, allowing overlap and sharing of electrons between atoms, contributing to the formation of pi bonds in molecules.

Sideways

In the context of chemistry or physics, this term does not have a specific technical meaning. NO.

Carbon-Carbon

Refers to bonds between carbon atoms, fundamental in organic chemistry, forming the backbone of organic molecules.
