The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the structure of \( \text{Al}_2(\text{CH}_3)_6 \), we will analyze each statement provided and determine their validity based on the structure and bonding of the compound. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Structure**: - The compound \( \text{Al}_2(\text{CH}_3)_6 \) consists of two aluminum (Al) atoms and six methyl (CH3) groups. - The structure can be visualized as two aluminum atoms connected by two bridging carbon atoms, with the remaining four carbon atoms at the terminal positions. 2. **Analyzing the Statements**: - **Statement 1**: "All carbons of CH3 group do not lie in the same plane." - In the structure, the terminal CH3 groups are positioned above and below the plane formed by the bridging carbons. Thus, this statement is **true**. - **Statement 2**: "One vacant orbital of each Al atom is involved in sp3 hybridization." - Aluminum typically forms three bonds but in this case, it uses a vacant orbital to form a fourth bond with the bridging carbon atoms. Therefore, each Al atom is involved in sp3 hybridization. This statement is **true**. - **Statement 3**: "There are only 8 sp3 hybridization atoms present." - Each Al atom contributes to sp3 hybridization (2 Al atoms), and each of the 6 carbon atoms in the CH3 groups also undergoes sp3 hybridization. Thus, there are a total of \( 2 + 6 = 8 \) sp3 hybridized atoms. This statement is **true**. - **Statement 4**: "There are 48 bond electrons available." - Each CH3 group contributes 6 electrons (3 from C-H bonds), and there are 6 CH3 groups, contributing \( 6 \times 6 = 36 \) electrons. The two Al atoms contribute \( 2 \times 2 = 4 \) electrons from Al-C bonds, and there are 6 C-H bonds contributing \( 6 \times 2 = 12 \) electrons. Thus, the total is \( 36 + 4 + 12 = 52 \) electrons, not 48. Therefore, this statement is **false**. ### Conclusion: - The correct statements regarding the structure of \( \text{Al}_2(\text{CH}_3)_6 \) are: - Statement 1: True - Statement 2: True - Statement 3: True - Statement 4: False ### Final Answer: The correct statements are 1, 2, and 3. ---
