Hybridization: Lone Pairs

What we learned:

• Only one lone pair can ever be in a hybridized orbital
  • Any additional lone pairs will not hybridize
• Hybridized lone pairs will share the hybridization of the atom they’re on
  • When a lone pair hybridizes, we need to add an about (~) sign to the hybridization
    • Note: sometimes the about (~) sign is unnecessary, it depends on the preferred notation
• Unhybridized lone pairs will be in a p-orbital
