(26)What shape would you expect a simple carbon-containing compound to have if the carbon atom has the following hybridizations?
a. sp2
b. sp3
c. sp
(27)What is a sigma bond? Describe, with the aid of a diagram, how the overlap of two half-filled 1s orbitals produces a sigma bond?
(28)How many sigma and how many pi bonds are in an ethyne molecule (C2H2)?
