Question

The number of sp2 hybrid orbitals on the carbon atom in CO32– is

1

2

3

4

Answer 1

hm

Answer 2

those are the \(sp^2\) orbitals all in one plane (i.e. flat) and there is a pure p orbital perpendicular to the plane

Answer 3

i cant draw better pictures the drawing tools are garbage

Answer 4

by hybrid..do they mean each of the little ones that makes up the whole hybridization?

Answer 5

hybrids = combination of 2 different types of orbitals

\(sp^2\) = 1/3 s character + 2/3 p character

Answer 6

and yeah, i only drew the bonding orbitals though, but there are 3.
