The hybrid orbital set used by the central atom in h2co is ________. the hybrid orbital set used by the central atom in h2co is
________. sp sp2 sp3 sp3d sp3d2
1 answer:
The Lewis structure for H₂CO is shown in the attached picture. The central atom is the carbon. However, I'm not sure which bond you're referring to. There can be two answers. The two C-H bonds are sp³ hybridized because it is a single bond. The C=O bond is sp² hybridized because it is a double bond.

Given reaction represents dissociation of bromine gas to form bromine atoms
Br2(g) ↔ 2Br(g)
The enthalpy of the above reaction is given as:
ΔH = ∑n(products)Δ - ∑n(reactants)Δ
where n = number of moles
Δ= enthalpy of formation
ΔH = [2*ΔH(Br(g)) - ΔH(Br2(g))] = 2*111.9 - 30.9 = 192.9 kJ/mol
Thus, enthalpy of dissociation is the bond energy of Br-Br = 192.9 kJ/mol
