Label each carbon atom with the appropriate geometry.

♦ Relevant knowledge
Molecular Geometry

The particular 3-dimensional arrangement of the atoms, or electrons in the middle of an element of a molecule is known as molecular geometry. It considers the repulsions between various electron groups including bonds and isolated pair. The effects of these repulsions can be seen in the bond lengths as well as bond angles of the molecule.

    Concepts and Reason

    Before they overlap with the 1st orbital of hydrogen, the first atomic orbitals undergo hybridization to create hybrid orbitals. Hybrid orbitals of carbon are formed through hydrogen bond formation. The type of hybridization determines the geometry at each carbon.

    Fundamentals

    The geometry of [katex]{\rm{s}}{{\rm{p}}^3}[/katex]

    These are the hybridizations that occur between each carbon in a molecule.

    Sp3 sp3 sp sp CH

    This is the geometry of all carbon atoms:

    Answer

    The geometry of each carbon atom is thus as follows:
