Hybridization

Chemistry Level 3

Let the hybridization of C H 3 ∙ CH_3 ^{\bullet} be s p x sp^{x} and that of C F 3 ∙ CF_3 ^{\bullet} be s p y sp^{y} .

Find the value of x 3 + y x^3 + \sqrt{y} upto 2 decimal places.

Details and assumptions

C F 3 ∙ CF_3 ^{\bullet} represents free radicle


The answer is 9.73205.

Other alkyl radicals normally take a shallow pyramidal geometry (between sp2 and sp3). The CF3 radical adopts a pyramidal geometry (sp3 hybridized), because of the strong electronegativity of F atoms. The bond angel of F-C-F is 112°. good ques!
