Hybridization and molecular geometry: A number game

Abstract

Present article emphasize the new pedagogy to learn the hybridization and molecular geometry. It is always a challenge for the students to remember the hybridization and geometry of the molecule correctly. This topic has several importance in subjective and objective type questions and answers since in most of the  competitive examination hybridization and molecular geometry always comprise a huge number of questions. Now in order to remember all the hybridization, this paper gives you a table of few numbers and those number are also no need to remember because they contain certain trends in period and column (subtract 8 in row and subtract 6 in column) and certainly the table will form. Here, the more focus on the domain number (total bond pair and lone pair) 6, 5 and 4 because these domain number contain various type of geometry. This article is not emphasizing the theory behind the hybridization, but only on how to remember different hybridization and their geometry as far as the competitive skill is concerned. It has also some of the restrictions (limitation) and may not work for some of the coordination complex and inorganic compounds.
