sp or sp1 bonds are triple bonds. For carbon to carbon bonds, the easiest way to work it out is take the number after the "sp" and subtract it from 4 ( the normal number of bonds to carbon). Therefore "sp1 or sp"

4-1=3, so triple bond

What Bond angle between sp and sp hybrids?

The bond angles between sp and sp hybrids are 180 degrees. This is because sp hybridization involves the combination of one s orbital and one p orbital, resulting in a linear geometry with bond angles of 180 degrees.


How the hybridization of c atoms in c-c single bond of HC---C-CH--CH2 is sp3-sp?

The compound HCCCHCH2 contains a triple bond and a double bond. Working along the molecule left to right the hybridisation of the carbon atoms is:-sp ;sp ; sp2 ; sp2The formula for a 4 carbon chain containing an sp3 - sp single bond would beHCCCH2CH3where the hybridisation left to right issp ; sp ; sp3 ; sp3


What are the bond angles for sp3 single sp2 double and sp triple bonds?

The bond angle for sp3 hybridized atoms (single bonds) is approximately 109.5 degrees. For sp2 hybridized atoms (double bonds), the bond angle is approximately 120 degrees. In the case of sp hybridized atoms (triple bonds), the bond angle is around 180 degrees.


Does Carbon use sp hybrid orbitals in ClCN?

Yes, in ClCN (cyanogen chloride), carbon uses sp hybrid orbitals. The carbon atom forms a triple bond with nitrogen, requiring sp hybridization to accommodate the bond angles and geometry of the molecule.


Which type of hybridization state is expected on each of the carbon atoms in the molecule H-CC-H?

Assuming you mean acetylene, H-C triple bond C-H, then each of the C is sp hybridized.


What is the hybridization of carbon in ClCN?

sp2. Even though there is a double bond the hybridization will be sp2 (with the pi-bond considered non-hybridized)


Is a carbon to carbon triple bond sp-sp hybridized?

No, a carbon-carbon triple bond involves sp hybridization. In this case, each carbon atom uses one sp hybrid orbital to form the sigma bond, and the remaining two p orbitals from each carbon overlap to form the two pi bonds.


What famous person's begins with the letter I?

Ian Fleming (sp?). James Bond books.


What is the hybridization of acetonitrile?

The carbon atom in acetonitrile is sp hybridized. It forms a triple bond with the nitrogen atom, resulting in a linear molecular geometry.


What types of hybridization allows for single double and triple bonds and what molecular shapes are formed with each type of bond?

in single bond hybridization will be sp3 and take tetrahedral shape as in CH4 in double bond hybridization will be sp2 and take planar triangle shape as in C2H4in triple bond hybridization will be sp and take linear shape as in C2H2


What type hybridization occurs in the orbital of a carbon atom particle in a triple bond whit another carbon atom?

Those atoms undergo sp hybridization.


What type of bond holds the two carbon atoms together in acetylene?
