What is the hybridization of the oxygen atom in water?

Answer 1

I've just did the test about this

and i choosed sp hybridization

but some of my friends did sp3 hybridization

and it's almost the same

sp has px and py for lone pair

and sp3 has 2 hybridorbital for lone pair too

i don't know whic one is correct

Answer 2

The oxygen atom in water is sp3 hybridized, meaning it has four electron domains arranged in a tetrahedral geometry. Two of the domains are bonding pairs with hydrogen atoms, one is a lone pair, and one is the sigma bond between the two hydrogen atoms.

Answer 3

It is sp3 hybridization, there is two lone pair and two hydrogen elecron actively participating in hybridization for making bond with other two of oxygen.

Answer 4

The isomers of H2O2 could be cis and trans isomers. Cis and trans are when the H substituents are placed on the same or opposite sides of a molecule.

Answer 5

the hybridization of oxygen atom in water is sp2.

Answer 6

sp3 -- it has two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom with two lone pairs. Even though it has those lone pairs, the oxygen still uses all three p-orbitals to form its sp orbitals.

Answer 7

In H2O, the central atom is Oxygen atom and it is sp3 hybridised

Answer 8

the molecular shape of H2O2 is linear

Answer 9

sp^3

Answer 10

sp3
