Question #c7a04

Answer 1

Hybridization is often a difficult concept to understand, hence to answer your question lightly, there are three forms of hybrid orbitals in which you must know, `sp^3,sp^2,sp`

Explanation:

`sp^3`

A tetrahedral in shape with bond angles of about `109°` Understand that the s means the first bond while p refers to the second, third, etc. bond.

A similar explanation can be applied to `sp^2` where it is a trigonal planar and `sp` a linear shape.

Also, in this case, double or triple bonds are considered as a single bond.
