Numerous molecules are detected in deep space. Three of them are illustrated here.

(a) Are these compounds isomers?
(b) Indicate the hybridization of each C atom in each molecule.
(c) What is the value of the H—C—H angle in each of the three molecules?
(d) Which of these molecules is/are polar?
(e) Which molecule should have the strongest carbon–carbon bond? The strongest carbon– oxygen bond?
