Question

35) For the compound CH3CN
a) Identify the number of sigma and pi bonds
b) identify the functional group and hybridization of each carbon atom
c) write its IUPAC Name​

Answer 1

Answer:

Nomenclature and identification

Explanation:

A ] 4 - sigma bonds ( 3 of H with carbon and 1 of cyanide ) , 1 - pi bond ( of cyanide bond ) .

B ] Functional group is Cyanide

Hybridization of Methyl carbon is sp3 and while of cyanide is sp2 .

C ] IUPAC name :- Cyano methane or Methyl cyanide .

Answer 2

4 σ and 1 π bond, Cyanide, $sp_3$, sp and Cyano-methane or Methyl cyanide are the respective answers for the given question.

a) There are 4 σ bonds ( 3 of H with carbon and 1 of cyanide ) and 1 π bond ( of cyanide bond ) in the given compound.

b) Functional group of $CH_3CN$ is Cyanide.

In $CH_3CN$, first carbon ( methyl carbon) is $sp_3$ hybridized (4σ bonds).

The second carbon (cyanide) is sp hybridized (2π bonds and 1σ bond).

c)The IUPAC name of the given compound is Cyano-methane or Methyl cyanide .
