Question

How many such orbitals are there in ch4, c2h4 and c2h2

Answer 1

Hi there ,

☆ CH4 compound have

● 4SP3 orbitals in carbon

● 4 S orbitals in hydrogen

● so the total number of orbitals are ( 8) orbitals

☆ C2H4 have

● 3SP2 orbitals in each carbon atom which means 6 orbitals

● 2 orbitals not hybridized

● 4S in hydrogen

● so, the totals number of orbitals are( 12 )orbitals

☆ C2H2 have

● 4 SP hybridized orbitals

● 4 unhybridized orbitals in carbon atoms

● 2 S in hydrogen atoms

● so the total number of orbitals are (10 ) orbitals
