In CH3 - CH2 -CH2 - Br, C - Br bond is formed by the overlapping of
A
2sp3 - 2pz
B
2sp3 - 3pz
C
2sp3 - 2pz
D
2sp3 - 4pz
Answer
2sp3 - 4pz
Explanation
Solution
In the compoud CH3-CH2 -CH2 –Br
As we know Br lies 4th period so Bromine has 4 pz orbital. This 4pz orbital overlap with sp3 hybrid orbital of C adjacent to it.
