Question

Santalbic acid, a fatty acid isolated from the seeds of the sandalwood tree, is an unusual fatty acid that contains a carbon-carbon triple bond.What orbitals are used to form each of the three indicate single bongs in santalbic acid?

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The explanation is described below:-

a. Bond that is a which is created by sp3 - sp2 orbitals

b. Bond that is b which is developed by sp2-sp orbitals

c. Bond that is c which is created by sp-sp3 orbitals

Sp2 is hybridised by a double bonded carbon, and a triple bonded carbon is hybridised. Both single bonded carbons are hybridised to sp3.
