Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the hybridization of a molecule with a central atom forming 4 sigma bonds and no lone pairs?
  • Step 1: Identify the central atom of the molecule.
  • Step 2: Count the number of sigma bonds formed by the central atom. In this case, there are 4 sigma bonds.
  • Step 3: Check if there are any lone pairs on the central atom. Here, there are no lone pairs.
  • Step 4: Use the number of sigma bonds to determine hybridization. 4 sigma bonds indicate sp3 hybridization.
