This article explores the concepts of hybridization in carbon compounds, focusing on sp3, sp2, and sp hybridization. It provides insights into the formation of single, double, and triple bonds in various carbon compounds, using examples like methane (CH4), ethylene (C2H4), and acetylene (C2H2). The text includes details on bond lengths, energies, and the significance of molecular orbitals in determining chemical behavior. Additionally, it highlights the behavior of electron delocalization in polyenes and benzene, crucial for understanding organic chemistry.

Single and Multiple Bonds in Carbon Compounds sp3 hybridization on C leads to 4 bonds. CH4 is a good example. CH3(CH3) is another example: 1 C-C sp3/sp3 bond CH3 C H H H

C C 2 of sp2 orbitals on each C form C-H bonds ( total of 4 ) Remaining sp2 on each c overlap each other gives C-C bond This uses 3 valence e - from each C to form 5 sp2 bonds ( bonds) H H 120˚ 120˚ H H (EachC contributes 1 valence e - to C-C bond.)

Although energy of π* in ethylene < *, conjugated polylenes have even lower energy π* levels. These absorb light at longer wavelength- sometimes even in visible (human eye’s light perception). Conjugated polyenes: C=C-C=C-C=C polyene
