"Secret" or "Trick"❌The SECRET Hybridization of Oxygen in Alcohols💡 (Organic Chemistry Trick)
The oxygen atom in ethanol is part of the hydroxyl group (-OH). It has two lone pairs of electrons and is bonded to two atoms: one carbon (from the ethyl group) and one hydrogen.
To find the hybridization:
Count the number of atoms bonded to the oxygen and the number of lone pairs.
Oxygen is bonded to C and H (2 atoms).
It has two lone pairs.
The steric number (SN) is the sum of the number of atoms bonded and the number of lone pairs.
SN = 2 (bonded atoms) + 2 (lone pairs) = 4.
The hybridization corresponds to the steric number:
SN = 4 → sp³ hybridization.
Therefore, the oxygen atom in ethanol is sp³ hybridized.
The correct answer is (c) sp³.
