The hybridization of a particular atom in a molecule depends upon the coordination geometry at that atom.Why is this organic chemistry statement false?
Consider an sp2-hybridized oxygen atom and an sp2-hybridized carbon atom. The oxygen has one double bond and two lone pairs. The carbon has one double bond and two single bonds. These have different coordination geometry despite having the same hybridization.Why is this organic chemistry statement false?
I think instead of the geometry of the atom, it would depend on the number of bonds that the center atom creates.
