Question

In which reaction does the hybridization of carbon not change? O C₂H₂ + H₂C₂H6 OCH F2 + Cl2 - CH2Cl2 + F2 O CH4 +202 + CO2 + 2 H2O O Fe2O3 + 3 CO —2 Fe + 3 CO2

Answer 1

We draw the structure of carbon compounds to see their hybridization:

H + H2CH₃-CH3 H H-C-H + Cl₂ > H-C-H+ Ez ch - -- H-C- H + 20 O=CO+ 2H₂O H Fez Og v3 :05 0:24.cool

We can see that there are 2 reactions where the hybridization of the carbon atom does not change:
1st) CH2F2 + CL2 -> CH2CL2 + F2
In this case, on the sp3 hybridized carbon only its halogens change.
2nd) Fe2O3 + 3CO -> 2Fe + 3 CO2
In this case, the carbon of the CO and of the CO2 presents a hybridization sp.
