Given information
Write a hybridization and bonding scheme for each molecule containing more than one interior atom. Indicate the hybridization about each interior atom. Sketch the structure, including overlapping orbitals, and label all bonds using the notation shown in Examples 10.6 and 10.7.
(skeletal structure )
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
has total valence electrons.
Let us draw the lewis structure by distributing these electrons in this structure in such a way that the octet is complete for all the atoms.
Each carbon atom forms a single bond with two hydrogen atoms and, carbon atom forms a double bond with the other carbon atom and thus complete its octet.
Each Carbon atom has three electron domain hence it has a trigonal planar structure and thus the hybridization of carbon atom in this molecule is
