sp2hybridisoituneet
sp2hybridisoituneet, often referred to as sp2 hybridized carbon atoms, are a fundamental concept in organic chemistry. These atoms are characterized by their involvement in one double bond and two single bonds. This unique bonding arrangement results from the hybridization of one s atomic orbital and two p atomic orbitals, forming three equivalent sp2 hybrid orbitals that lie in a plane at 120-degree angles to each other. The remaining unhybridized p orbital is perpendicular to this plane.
The sp2 hybridized carbon atoms are planar, and the geometry around them is trigonal planar. This arrangement
Examples of molecules featuring sp2 hybridized carbon atoms include ethene (C2H4), where the two carbon atoms
