- How to determine whether a non-carbon in a heterocyclic compound is sp, sp2, or sp3 hybridized.
I'm trying to fortify my understanding of aromaticity in heterocyclic compounds. I understand that every atom in an aromatic compound must be sp2 hybridized (I don't like the "conjugated" definition), which is easy to spot for carbon, but how do I determine it for atoms such as nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur and so on?
