Chapter 3, Problem 3.10P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Hybridization of the indicated atom in the given molecule is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Atomic orbitals mix and form an equal number of hybrid orbitals. The number of hybrid orbitals required by an atom in a molecule or an ion is equal to the number of electron groups in its valence shell. In case of atoms from the second row, like carbon, these are formed by mixing of one s AO and the necessary number of p AO(s).

An electron group is a lone pair or a bond. The bond, whether single, double, or triple, counts as just one electron group.
