propane | orbital hybridization
Result
![First draw the structure diagram for propane, and for every non-hydrogen atom, count the σ-bonds. Note that double and triple bonds consist of one σ-bond together with one or two π-bonds: For propane there are no lone pairs, so the steric number is given by the σ-bond count. Consult the following chart to determine the hybridization from the steric number: steric number | hybridization 2 | sp 3 | sp^2 4 | sp^3 5 | dsp^3 6 | d^2sp^3 7 | d^3sp^3 Now assign the hybridization for each atom: Answer: | |](../image_source/c81c474b58be47a6f0555dee45f4b797.png)
