Organic Hybridization
Illustrate the geometry and bond lengths in , and hybridized carbons.
Task
Build molecule and minimize geometry. Use the Measurement tool to examine bond lengths and bond angles.
Solution
Results using the MMFF94 forcefield (default):
- ethane bond angle: 110°; C-C bond length 1.5 A
- ethylene bond angle: 121°; C-C bond length: 1.336 A
- acetylene bond angle: 180°; C-C bond length: 1.200 A
