Which of the following would be expected to have sp² hybridization on atom A? A)II B)I and III C)I,II,and III D)I and IV

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

sp² hybridization occurs in atoms with four sigma bonds and two lone pairs of electrons, such as in the case of tetrahedral geometry. Options I, II, and III have tetrahedral geometry, while option IV has trigonal bipyramidal geometry, which would not result in sp² hybridization.
