For the molecule CH₃CHCHCH₃,the local molecular geometry around a carbon atom at the end and its hybridization are ___________

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The carbon atom at the end is bonded to four other atoms (two sulfur and two hydrogen), which indicates tetrahedral geometry. The molecule has a single bond between the carbon atoms, indicating sp3 hybridization for the carbon atom at the end. The hybridization of the carbon atoms in the middle of the molecule may differ, but the question specifically asks for the hybridization of the carbon atom at the end. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
