Double and Triple Bonds

[Shundeen Martinez 1D]

Do double and triple bonds change the hybridization of an atom?

[Kate Chow 4H]

No, a double or triple bond doesn't change the hybridization. You can treat them the same way as you do a single bond. They count as "1".

[Tessa Lawler 1A]

Nope. The hybridization of an atom with a single bond would be the same as an atom with a triple bond (all other things being equal). Hybridization is really more about regions of electrons, so making a bond between the same two atoms stronger wouldn't change hybridization in the way a lone pair or a bond to another atom would.

[Sara Lakamsani 4D]

They just add un-hybridized orbitals. The hybrid orbital stays the same but the extra electrons are held in p orbitals.

[Porus_Karwa_2E]

No they do not. The only thing that matters is the areas of electron density.

[Mahir_Hasan2C]

It would if you consider Carbon for example that it changed from sp3 to sp2 when it is double bonded. It is dependent on the number of bonding regions.

[905109118]

No they do not. All bonds (single, double, triple) are considered as one bond. Hybridization is really more about regions of electrons.

[KatrinaPho_2I]

Ignore the bonds and simply pay attention to ares of electron density to determine hybridization.

[Kelsey Li 3B]

Double and triple bonds do not change the hybridization of an atom. It only changes with the amount of electron densities.

[Kevin Arokiaraj 4E]

No, only electron density matters.

[Kenan Kherallah 2C]

No and this is also why for vsepr any resonance structure can be used

[405098546]

No the type of bond doesn't matter but the number of areas of high electron density do.

[Claire Aseremo 1D]

No, because the number of areas of electron density remains the same.

[Veronica Soliman 4H]

Nope! The only thing that affects hybridization is the electron configuration from what I understand. For example, a linear electron configuration means that the hybridization is sp.

[905109118]

No they do not. (single, double, triple) bonds are all the same value in hybridization

[Ricardo Martin 1J]

No, they do not change the hybridization of an atom, only areas of electron density change it.

[Jaifreen_Bhangu_3K]

No, you just count the regions of electron density.

[Phil Timoteo 1K]

No you can count them as 1 region of density for each double/triple bond.
