File:Chapter 1-PREDICTION OF THE HYBRIDIZATION STATE OF SIMPLE MOLECULES or IONS.pdf

In this innovative chapter, formula-based mnemonics by counting total number of σ bonds and lone pair of electrons (TSLP) and subtract one (01) from this total value of TSLP to predict the power of the hybridization state have been highlighted by innovative and time economic way to enhance interest of students’ who belong to paranoia zone of chemistry for the prediction of hybridization state of simple molecules or ions by using conventional method. Educators can use these mnemonics in their teaching style in the classroom lectures after discussing conventional methods to make chemistry intriguing. Here, I have tried to focus four (04) time economic mnemonics by including one (01) formula for the prediction of hybridization state of simple molecules or ions. This chapter encourages students to solve multiple choice type questions (MCQs) at different competitive examinations in a time economic ground on the prediction of hybridization state of simple molecules or ions to know their normal and subnormal geometry. This innovative chapter emphasizes chemical education in the light of a variety of mnemonic techniques to make chemistry metabolic, time economic and intriguing for students because the use of mnemonics in classroom lectures is an essential tool to become a distinguished educator.
