Paper 1, Paper 2 5 marks Difficulty 4

Hybridization from electron domains

In a materials-analysis workshop, a central atom has 4 electron domains. Identify its hybridization. Use the labelled diagram or spectrum before giving the answer. Enter the answer and choose the interpretation that matches the HL chemistry evidence.

Worked practice: chemistry evidence and answer

Use the chemical evidence first, then enter the result and interpretation that match it.
