Hybridization: Example

Module 1: Formal Charge, Partial Charge, Electron Density, Hybridization, and Resonance Structures Hybridization Hybridization: Example

What we learned:

The hybridization of any atom can be determined using the counting rule
The hybridization of the first lone pair is the same hybridization as the atom it’s on, but we add an about sign (~)
All additional lone pairs do not hybridize and will be in p-orbitals
