Question

Number of hybridised orbitals present
in heterolytic fission products of
saturated hydrocarbon containing two
carbon atoms.
1) 6 2) 7
3) 5 4) 4

Answer 1

Answer: 7

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation

Given hints are,

Saturated hydrocarbon containing two carbon atom, ie., c2h6 = ch3-ch3

Heterolytic fission products of ch3-ch3 is

ch3- & ch3+,

hybridisation of ch3- is sp3

hybridisation of ch3+ is sp2

number of hybrid orbitals in ch3- is 4

number of hybrid orbitals in ch3+ is 3

So,

number of hybrid orbitals present in heterolytic fission products of saturated hydrocarbon containing two carbon atom = 4+3= 7
