A type of hybridization of the electron orbitals of a carbon atom, indicated

A type of hybridization of the electron orbitals of a carbon atom, indicated by an asterisk in a substance, the formula of which is CH3-C * H2OH.

The carbon marked with an asterisk in the ethanol molecule has sp3 hybridization. All four hybrid orbitals are shaped like an irregular figure eight. Two bonds overlap with s-orbitals of hydrogen atoms. One bond connects to the hybrid orbital of the neighboring carbon atom. And the latter combines with the p-electron of the oxygen atom.



One of the components of a person's success in our time is receiving modern high-quality education, mastering the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for life in society. A person today needs to study almost all his life, mastering everything new and new, acquiring the necessary professional qualities.
