The correct Answer is:
To determine the incorrect order between the given compounds, we will analyze the statements provided in the question step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the Compounds We have two compounds to analyze, which include OCH3 (methoxy) and OSiH3 (silyl ether). We need to compare their properties, specifically focusing on hybridization, bond angles, percentage s-character, and reactivity towards Lewis acids. ### Step 2: Determine Hybridization - **OCH3**: The central atom is carbon (C) which is sp3 hybridized. It has 4 sigma bonds (3 from H and 1 from O). - **OSiH3**: The central atom is silicon (Si) which is also sp3 hybridized. It has 4 sigma bonds (3 from H and 1 from O). Both compounds have the same hybridization (sp3). ### Step 3: Analyze Bond Angles - In OCH3, the bond angle is approximately 109.5° due to the tetrahedral geometry of sp3 hybridization. - In OSIH3, silicon has a larger atomic size and has vacant d-orbitals that can participate in back-bonding. This back-bonding can increase the bond angle compared to OCH3. Thus, OSIH3 has a greater bond angle than OCH3. ### Step 4: Percentage s-Character - For both OCH3 and OSiH3, since they are sp3 hybridized, the percentage s-character is 25% (1 out of 4 orbitals is s). Thus, the percentage s-character is equal for both compounds. ### Step 5: Reactivity Towards Lewis Acids - OCH3 can act as a Lewis base because it has available electrons to donate. - OSiH3, due to back-bonding, has its electrons involved in bonding, making it less available to donate, thus making it a poorer Lewis base compared to OCH3. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: - **Incorrect Statements**: - A: Number of sp3 hybridized atoms is equal in both compounds (True). - B: Bond angle in OSiH3 is greater than in OCH3 (True). - C: Percentage s-character is equal in both compounds (True). - D: Reactivity towards Lewis acids (OSiH3 is a better Lewis acid) (True). Thus, the incorrect statements are A, C, and D.
