ORGANIC 1: Chapter 1: Hybridization & Bonding Flashcards
What is the hybridization of the indicated atom?
sp2
What is the hybridization of the indicated atom?
sp3
What is the hybridization of the indicated atom?
sp
What is the hybridization of the indicated atom?
sp
What is the hybridization of the indicated atom?
sp3
What is the hybridization of the indicated atom?
sp3
True or False
The indicated atom is sp3 hybridized.
False!
Because this atom with a lone pair is adjacent to a pi bond, it can participate in resonance, which affects the hybridization. This atom has a hybridization in between sp2 and sp3.
Look out for allylic lone pairs! (allylic = adjacent to a double bond)

What is the relationship between bond length & bond strength?
The shorter the bond, the stronger it is and
the longer the bond, the weaker it is
