Question

. Each of the following molecules have a resonance structure which should be considered when determining the hybridization of the indicated lone pairs. For each molecule, draw another resonance structure. Then identify the type of orbital (s, p, sp, sp2, sp3) that houses the indicated electrons in the following molecules .

Expert Solution

Step 1

We know that atomic orbitals mix together to form stable and lower energy orbitals called hybrized orbitals.

The orbital having electron pair (lone pair) which take participate in resonance do not contribute in hybridization and the orbital having loan pair which do not participate in resonance will contribute in hybridization.
