Q

True or False

The indicated atom is sp3 hybridized.

A

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)
