IB Chemistry 2.2.16 (HL) Hybridization Questions
Practise deducing hybridization from displayed structures and linking each labeled atom to the number of sigma and pi bonds it forms.
How this is tested
- state hybridization for named atoms, e.g. C in C2H2 is sp, central O in O3 is sp2, and C in CO3^2- is sp2
- deduce from a structure that an sp carbon forms 2 sigma bonds and 2 pi bonds, as in an alkyne carbon
- identify labeled atoms with different hybridizations in one molecule, such as sp2 alkene C and sp3 alkane C
