Question

Q. explain sp3 hybridization in formation of ethane ( c2h6 ) molecule.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The 1 s orbital, as well as the px, py, and pz orbitals, undergo sp3 hybridization during the creation of C2H6.

Explanation:

• For each carbon atom, this results in the production of four hybridized orbitals. The electrons in the molecular hybrid orbitals now form distinct bonds.
• One hybrid orbital of one carbon atom will overlap with one s-orbital of the hydrogen atom to generate three sigma bonds among the four sp3 hybrid orbitals.
• Furthermore, the last orbital will overlap with one of another carbon atom's sp3 orbitals, establishing a sigma bond between two C-atoms.
• In C2H6, hybridization involves one s orbital and three p-orbitals (px, py, pz).
• A cluster of four sp3 hybridized orbitals has formed.
• When ethane is hybridized, four identical bonds form in a flawless tetrahedral shape.

Answer 2

Answer:

Orbital hybridization is the concept of mixing atomic orbital into new hybrid with different energies , shape etc then the component atomic orbital suitable for the pairing of electron to form chemical bond in valence bond theory.

For example, in ethane molecules , the bonding structure according to valance orbital theory is very similar to that of methane . Both are sp³- hybridized , meaning that both have four bonds arranged with tetrahedral geometry.
