thanks in advance

Consider the following lewis structure for methyl acetate; Using valence bond theory for each of the following bond, describe which specific orbitals were overlapped to form that particular bond. (For example, in H2, the bond results from overlap between H15 and another H15.) Ca-Oa bond: Cb-Cc bond: Cc-H bond: Cb = Ob bond: (account for the double bond) What is hybridization of Cc? Therefore what is geometry around Cc? Using molecular orbital theory, rationalize in which molecule is the nitrogen-nitrogen bond stronger, N2+ or N2-. You must show your work to receive full credit.

Explanation / Answer

a). sp3 hybridised orbital one from Ca and other from Oa

sp2 hybridised orbital from C2 and sp3 hybrisised orbital from Cc

sp3 from Cc and 1s from hydrogen

b).

Cc is sp3 hybridised

tetrahedral

2).N2+ as bond order is 3.5 in this case
