Post by: Rox Feijen on Dec 13, 2021
What is the hybridization of the central atom of each of the following molecules?


Electron domains   Electronic          Hybridization of     
(steric number)      geometry         central atom      

2               linear            sp   
3               trigonal planar      sp2   
4               tetrahedral         sp3   
5               trigonal bipyramidal   sp3d   
6               octahedral         sp3d2   

The number of electron domains around a central atom includes all bonding and nonbonding electron pairs. It can be used as an indicator of the hybridization of the central atom as shown in the table.
