Question

What is the hybridization of each of the carbon atoms in the following compound?

b. What is the hybridization of each of the C, N, and O atoms in Demerol and Prozac?(Generic names are not capitalized; trade names are capitalized.)

Demerol® : used to treat moderate to severe pain

Prozac: used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, some eating disorders, and panic attacks

Short answer

a.

C1= SP³

C2=SP³

C3=SP³

C4=SP³

C5=SP³

C6=SP³

C7=SP³

C8=SP³

C9=SP³

b. Demerol

Step-by-step solution

Deciding the hybridisation.

-- sp³

= sp²

≡ sp

• No p bonds, it is sp3 hybridized.
• One p bond, it is sp2 hybridized.
• Two p bonds, it is sphybridized.
