Question

Would a pair of triply bonded carbon atoms be able to independently rotate?

Answer 1

The three-dimensional structures of organic compounds significantly depend on the shapes and characteristics of the hybridized atomic orbitals of the carbon atom. Here you learn about sp3 , sp 2 and sp hybridized orbitals, which are involved deeply in the structure of molecules. Models are useful tools to conceptualize the shapes of molecules. The commercially available molecular models will be classified based on their features. Sometimes a compound may have two or more names. Similarly, several nomenclatures are used in discussing the stereochemistry of organic compounds. The nomenclature based on the sequence rule will be introduced because this method corresponds to the systematic nomenclature that is most widely used
