Hybridisation and bond angles.
« on: April 29, 2015, 03:31:58 PM »
Can anyone let me know if this looks correct. Thanks in advance.

QUESTION:
Re-draw the following molecules 1 and 2 to show their correct geometry clearly. Label each carbon atom with its state of hybridisation and label each bond angle.

1) HC*C-CH=CH2

2) CH3(CH2)2CH(OH)CH3

*Triple bond. A bit of a newbie to all this chemistry forum stuff so not sure how to insert a triple bond on my MacBook.

I've also just realised for the sp2 hybridisation I've stated a bond angle of 180 degrees when this should be 120 degrees.

Yup, it looks good.
Just fix the sp2 angle to 120o, but you already know that.
You may also want to fully draw the O-H bond on the second molecule and mention that angle as well.
