hybridization

Question 1

what is the hybridization for a molecule with SN=2? what does this mean?

Answer 1

-sp
-s orbital + p orbital = 2 sp orbitals

Question 2

what is the hybridization for a molecule with SN=3? what does this mean?

Answer 2

-sp2
-s orbital + 2 p orbitals = 3 sp2 orbitals

Question 3

what is the hybridization for a molecule with SN=4? what does this mean?

Answer 3

-sp3
-s orbital + 3 p orbitals = 4 sp3 orbitals

Question 4

what is the hybridization for a molecule with SN=5? what does this mean?

Answer 4

-sp3d
-s orbital + 3 p orbitals + d orbital = 5 sp3d orbitals

Question 5

what is the hybridization for a molecule with SN=6? what does this mean?

Answer 5

-sp3d2
-s orbital + 3 p orbitals + 2 d orbitals = 6 sp3d2 orbitals
