Hybridization

Postby 105561735 » Sun Dec 10, 2023 11:28 am

I am having issues determining the hybridization of individual elements in a compound for example cnh2no. What would the hybridization of n be in this case and why

To determine the hybridization numbers of the atoms in a compound: count the number of atoms they are bonded to (not the number of bonds) and the number of lone pairs of electrons that element has.
Then use the hybridization number to determine the hybridization of that atom:
2=sp
3=sp2
4=sp3
5=sp3d
6=sp3d2
