Hybridization of carbon-is my teacher right?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the hybridization of carbon, specifically questioning the hybridization states assigned to carbon atoms in a provided image. The focus is on whether the hybridization for certain carbon atoms should be classified as sp instead of sp2, reflecting uncertainty in understanding the topic.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant questions the accuracy of their teacher's classification of hybridization for carbon atoms 7 and 8, suggesting they should be sp instead of sp2.
  • Several participants agree that the hybridization for both carbon atoms 7 and 8 should indeed be sp.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There appears to be agreement among some participants that the hybridization for carbon atoms 7 and 8 should be sp, but the initial question indicates uncertainty regarding the teacher's classification.

Contextual Notes

The discussion reflects a lack of coverage of the topic in class, contributing to the participants' uncertainty about hybridization concepts.

hybridization of carbon--is my teacher right?

Hi, in the link above, I am looking at the 1st image.

This is the answer my teacher offered, but at 7 and 8, shouldn't the hybridization be sp, not sp2?

We did not cover this topic in class, and I am kind of shaky on the topic.

sp for both 7th and 8th.
 
Indeed, 7 and 8 should be sp.
 
Thanks.
