Question

What orbitals overlap to create the H–C bond in CH3+?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The C‒H and O‒H sigma bonds are formed from overlap of sp3 hy- brid orbitals with hydrogen 1s atomic orbitals. The C‒C and C‒O sigma bonds are formed from overlap of the sp3 hybrid orbitals on each atom. Assuming N is hybridized, both C and N atoms are sp hybridized

Answer 2

The C‒H and O‒H sigma bonds are formed from overlap of sp3 hy- brid orbitals with hydrogen 1s atomic orbitals. The C‒C and C‒O sigma bonds are formed from overlap of the sp3 hybrid orbitals on each atom. Assuming N is hybridized, both C and N atoms are sp hybridized.
