IIT JEE , AIEEE Forum - Chemistry , Organic Chemistry - HOW TO DECIDE THE HYBRIDISATION OF A CHARGED SPECIES?

rds

IF THERE IS A SP3 SPECIES AND A GROUP ATTACHED TO IT LEAVES AND CHARGE COMES ON IT . NOW THE CHARGE IS IN HYBRIDIZED ORBITAL OR IN UNHYBRIDIZED ?ARE THERE ANY RULES OR EXCEPTIONS REGARDING THIS ?

If the charge is negative there will be eight electrons and hybridisation will remain sp3(Charge is because of electron and it is in hybrid orbital). But if a positive charge comes then there will be only six electrons which will have sp2 hybridisation (In that case charge will be on nucleus)

the negative charge is nothing but an extra electron ! for example consider carbanion , the normal carbon contains 4 electrons in its valence shell while it contains 5! treat it as nitrogen atom and decide the hybridization! when carbanion is in sp3 hybridized state it has trigonal pyramidal structure with the lone pair at the top! just like a sp3 hybridised nitrogen atom!
