Question

The overlap of orbitals involved in the formation of C - Br bond in vinyl bromide is ______.

Options

• sp² - 3p_z

• sp³ - 3p_z

• sp² - 4p_z

• sp³ - 4p_z

Answer 1

The overlap of orbitals involved in the formation of C - Br bond in vinyl bromide is sp² - 4p_z.

Explanation:

\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{H}\phantom{....}\ce{H}\\
|\phantom{.....}|\\
\ce{\underset{\text{vinyl bromide}}{H - C = C - Br}}\end{array}\]
