Best Answer

tertiary alcohol is sp3 hybridised. when carbocation is formed hydroxyl takes its as well as carbon atoms electrons as a result one of the p orbital of carbon becomes empty thus carbon atom in order to attain stabilty undergoes hybridisation with one s orbital and remaining two p orbitals and becomes

sp2 hybridised

What is the hybridization of ion CH3 plus?

This carbocation which only has six electrons is isoelectronic with BH3 and is believed to have a similar structure as gaseous molecular BH3, planar with bond angles of 120 0. The hybridisation would be sp2 with and empty p orbital.

What is the hybridization of BeCl2?

In molecular BH3 the molecule is planar with bond angles of 120o so the hybridisation of the central boron atom is sp2. In the dimer B2H6 the molecule has two bridging hydrogens. The hybridisation of each boron is approxomately sp3 and each bridge has a 3 centre B-H-B bond formed by the overlap of the sp3 orbtals on the B atoms and the s orbital on the hydrogen.

What 2 theories can be used to predict molecular geometry?

VSEPR - valence shell electron pair repulsion theory Hybridisation- e.g. Sp, Sp2, sp3, Sp3d2 etc Hybridisation predicts regular geometries-- VSEPR has the advantage of predicting how bond angles may deviate from the regular geometries.
