Determine the hybridization about 0 in CH3OH.
Interpretation:
Find the hybridization of Oxygen (O) in
Concept introduction:
For molecule with two or more than two atoms, the formation of hybrid orbital takes place by the mixing of atomic orbitals of atoms possessing nearly same energy in free state. The mixing of orbitals takes place by the overlapping of orbitals of each atom in the molecule, which result in the formation of bonds. The formed hybrid orbitals possess energies that are different from the energy of atomic orbitals of parent atoms. The hybrid orbitals which possess less energy compared to the atomic orbitals of parent atoms result in formation of sigma molecular orbitals whereas hybrid orbitals which possess more energy compared to the atomic orbitals of parent atoms result in formation of pi molecular orbitals.
