Question

both cyclohexane and benzene have carbon atoms forming a six member ring. in a valence bond picture of the C-C bonds, the _____ hybrid orbitals overlay for the cyclohexane, and the _____ hybrid orbitals would over lab for benzene. Both cyclohexane (C&H12;) and benzene (C&He;) have carbon atoms forming a six-member ring. In a valence bond picture of the C -C bonds____ hybrid orbitals would overlap for cyclohexane, and hybrid orbitals would overlap for benzene. O sp: sp O sp: sp * Previous Next

Explanation / Answer

Ans : Sp3, Sp2 (cyclohexane having all single bonds around the carbon. Four single bonds, tetrahedrol geometry. Therefore hybridiziation is Sp3. Benzene is having alternate double bonds and single bonds. Each carbon is having three single bonds and one pi bond. Therefore hybridization is sp2.
