Answer to Question #151413 in General Chemistry for yemane

Question

Label the hybridization of all interior (central) atoms. Do not draw hybridized orbitals!

Answer 1

Hybridization is given by the following formula:

H= $\frac{1}{2}$ (V+X−C+A)

• Where:V
• V = number of valence electrons in central atom
• X = number of monovalent atoms around the central atom
• C = positive charge on cation
• A = negative charge on anion
