Hybridization Notation
If there is a molecule with let’s say dsp3 hybridization does it matter if we put the d first? Or can we say sp3d?

Re: Hybridization Notation
Both are correct. However, Lavelle has a personal preference for sp3d because it looks more uniform when listed with other hybridizations (sp, sp2, sp3, sp3d2)

Re: Hybridization Notation
Either notation is acceptable but Dr. Lavelle mentioned that he prefers the d orbital to placed at the end.

Re: Hybridization Notation
Both notations are correct but Lavelle prefers to have it placed at the end like sp3d.
