What is the hybridization of the central atom in (c) O3?

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the central atom in the molecule O_3, which is one of the oxygen atoms.
Count the number of atoms bonded to the central atom. In O_3, the central oxygen is bonded to two other oxygen atoms.
Count the number of lone pairs on the central atom. In O_3, the central oxygen atom has one lone pair.
Use the formula for hybridization: Hybridization = (Number of sigma bonds) + (Number of lone pairs). In this case, there are 2 sigma bonds and 1 lone pair.
Determine the hybridization based on the sum from the previous step. A sum of 3 corresponds to sp^2 hybridization.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Hybridization

Hybridization is a concept in chemistry that describes the mixing of atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals. These hybrid orbitals are used to explain the geometry and bonding properties of molecules. The type of hybridization depends on the number of electron pairs around the central atom, influencing molecular shape and bond angles.

Hybridization

Molecular Geometry

Molecular geometry refers to the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms within a molecule. It is determined by the number of bonding pairs and lone pairs of electrons around the central atom, which affects the overall shape. Understanding molecular geometry is crucial for predicting the behavior and reactivity of molecules.

Ozone (O3) Structure

Ozone (O3) is a molecule consisting of three oxygen atoms. The central oxygen atom is bonded to two other oxygen atoms, with one of these bonds being a double bond and the other a single bond. This arrangement leads to a bent molecular shape, which is essential for determining the hybridization of the central atom, specifically sp2 hybridization.
