Which atoms are sp2 hybridized? Select the appropriate atoms by clicking them. HINT: There are 4 such atoms in the structure... see if you can find the right ones!
Answer
The oxygen AND nitrogen of the N=O group is sp2 hybridized; the
oxygen has 1 double bond and 2 lone pairs while the nitrogen has 1
lone pair and 1 double bond and 1 single bond.
The 2 "outer" carbons of the allene systems (C=C=C) are also sp2
hybridized (note: the central carbon is sp hybridized).
In the given structure oxygen and nitrogen of the N-O group is sp'hybridized. Oxygen contains one double bond and 2 loan pairs while nitrogen contains one double bond, 1 single bond and 1 loan pair. НН 2 sp Sp N : НН The two outer carbons also contains sp hybridization. Hence, these are four such atoms in the structure which have sp2 hybridization
