examples of sp2 sp3 hybridization

  Hybridiztion Theory   lecture and fold it into three-dimensions or envision a molecule in three-dimensions from a page in a book, which is arguably the most essential skill when learning Chemistry. Starting with the atomic orbital theory, the sp3, sp2, and sp hybrid orbitals are developed and utilized within many supplementary examples allowing the student exposure to Newman projections, conformational analysis, geometric isomers, deviations from ideal bond angles, nitrogen inversion, and many other ...

  Why is graphite stable if the carbon atoms are only bonded to 3 carbon..   13. Consider the Lewis structure of methylisothiocyanate. State the hybridization of the indicated carbon atom. a. sp3 b. sp c. sp2 d. sp3d

Question : a) 2 sp hybrid orbitals b) 1 sp hybrid orbitals c) 2 sp^2 hybrid orbitals d) 3 sp ^2 hybrid orbitals e) 1 sp^2 hybrid orbitals the answer is d 3 sp ^2 hybrid orbitals, but why please explain will give 5 pts to best answer

Answer : Whenever a number of orbitals combine, the result must be the same number of orbitals. This automatically rules out a, b, c, and e. So at this point you already know the answer has to be d. As for the sp2 part, since you have _one_ s orbital and _two_ p orbitals, it is fairly obvious that it should be sp2. Similarly, sp means one s orbital + one p orbital; sp3 means one s orbital and three p orbitals, etc. (sp3d, sp3d2, sp3d3)

Question : Which type of hybrid orbitals on sulfur are used to make the sigma bonds in SF4? A) sp2 B) sp C) sp3 D) sp3d E)sp3d2 How is this question answered? Thanks!

Answer : Look at the shape of the molecule,then choose a hybrid orbital that is consistent... see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_orbital page down to Hybridisation and molecule shape probably sp3d trigonal bipyramidal

Question : How do I indicate the hybridization of carbon in a acetaminophen ?

Answer : All the carbons in acetominophen are sp2 except for the methyl group of the N-acetyl group. That one is sp3.
