File:Chapter 3 - Prediction Of The Hybridization State – A Comparative Study Between Conventional and Innovative Formulae pp 35-43.pdf

In the previous two chapters (chapter 1 & 2), formulae based mnemonics by counting total number of σ bonds with lone pair of electrons (LP) or localized negative charge (LNC) or localized lone pair of electrons (LLP) and subtract one (01) from this total value (TSLP , TSLNC or TSLLP) to predict the power of the hybridization state of simple molecules or ions and organic compounds including heterocyclic compounds 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 and organic compounds including heterocyclic compounds. But in this chapter, limitation of conventional formula and its comparative study in the light of innovative formulae have been discussed. Educators can use this comparative study in their teaching style in the classroom lectures to make chemistry intriguing.
