Identify the orbitals that overlap to form the C - Br bonds in CH_2Br_2. carbon sp^3 hybrid orbital with bromine sp^3 hybrid orbital carbon sp^3 hybrid orbital with a singly occupied bromine 4s orbital carbon sp^3 hybrid orbital with a singly occupied bromine 4p orbital carbon sp^2 hybrid orbital with a singly occupied bromine 4p orbital a singly occupied carbon 2p orbital with bromine sp^3 hybrid orbital Identify the orbitals that overlap to form the C - H bonds in CH_2Br_2. carbon sp^3 hybrid orbital with a singly occupied hydrogen 1s orbital carbon sp^2 hybrid orbital with a singly occupied hydrogen 1p orbital carbon sp^2 hybrid orbital with a singly occupied hydrogen 1s orbital a singly occupied carbon 2p orbital with a singly occupied hydrogen 1s orbital carbon sp^3 hybrid orbital with hydrogen sp hybrid orbital

Explanation / Answer

part A carbon SP3 hybrid orbital with singly occupied bromine p orbital

part B carbon SP3 hybrid orbital with singly occupied 1s orbital

In CH2Br2, C is in SP3 hybridisation forming four hybrid orbitals. Two of them form covalent bond with Br by the overlap of SP3 hybrid orbital with P orbital of Bromine. Another two will form covalent bond to hydrogen through overlap of 1s orbital on hydrogen
