Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which molecular geometry is associated with sp2 hybridization?
  • Step 1: Understand what hybridization means. Hybridization is the mixing of atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals.
  • Step 2: Identify the type of hybridization in question. Here, we are looking at sp2 hybridization.
  • Step 3: Know how many orbitals are involved in sp2 hybridization. It involves one s orbital and two p orbitals.
  • Step 4: Determine the shape formed by sp2 hybridization. This results in a trigonal planar shape.
  • Step 5: Learn about the bond angles in trigonal planar geometry. The bond angles are 120 degrees.
