Type of hybridization, electronegativity differences, molecular geometry, type of intermolecular force and formal charge of distilled water and ethanol
Distilled water (H2O):
1. Hybridization: sp3
2. Electronegativity differences: 1.24
3. Molecular geometry: Bent or V-shaped
4. Intermolecular forces: Hydrogen bonding
5. Formal charge: Oxygen has a formal charge of -1, while each hydrogen has a formal charge of +1.
Ethanol (C2H5OH):
1. Hybridization: sp3
2. Electronegativity differences: 1.36
3. Molecular geometry: Tetrahedral around the carbon atom, with an overall bent shape due to the O-H bond
4. Intermolecular forces: Hydrogen bonding and London dispersion forces
5. Formal charge: Oxygen has a formal charge of -1, while each hydrogen has a formal charge of +1. The carbon atom also has a formal charge of +1.
