II. Read the following passage and answer questions 6-10 that follow :
During organic reactions, a covalent bond between two carbon atoms or carbon atom and some other atom is broken and a new bond is formed. The fission of bonds can be homolytic or heterolytic forming free radicals, carbocations carbanions, carbenes, etc. This also depends upon the displacement, of electron in a bond and is governed by inductive effect, electromeric effect, reasonance and hyperconjugation.
Do `(CH_3)_ 3 C^(+)` and `( CH_3 )_3 C^(-)` have same structure? Explain.

Explanation

To determine whether `(CH₃)₃C^(+)` (tert-butyl cation) and `(CH₃)₃C^(-)` (tert-butyl anion) have the same structure, we need to analyze their hybridization and molecular geometry.

### Step 1: Identify the hybridization of the carbon in both species.

1. **For `(CH₃)₃C^(+)`**:
- The central carbon atom is bonded to three methyl groups (CH₃) and has a positive charge.
- The carbon atom has a total of 4 valence electrons (group 14).
- With three bonds to the methyl groups and one positive charge, the effective electron count is 3 (from the bonds) + 0 (from the positive charge) = 3.
