Describe the hybridization of the cationic center and predict the CCC bond angle in (CH3)3C+.

Hybridization

The concept in chemistry where atomic orbitals mix to form new hybrid orbitals for bonding.

Cationic Center

A site within a molecule that bears a positive charge, typically found in organometallic or organic compounds.

CCC Bond Angle

The angle between three consecutive carbon atoms within an organic molecule, significant in determining molecule shape.

  • Describe the hybridization states and predict bond angles in organic structures.
