what is the hybridization about a central atom that has three total electron groups, with two of those being bonding groups and one being a lone pair?

Respuesta :

The shape becomes bent V-shaped AND, molecular geometry is a triangular planar shape.

In the hybridization model, the number of hybrid orbitals used by the central atom is the same as the number of electron groups around the central atom. Thus, 2 electron groups (linear) = sp hybridization

If there are only three total electron groups, holding the place where two of those are bonding groups and one is a lone pair. then the shape becomes bent V-shaped, 2 bonds and 1 lone pair the shape is bent. For sp² hybridized central atoms the only possible molecular geometry is a triangular planar shape.
