Identifying the hybridisation:
The hybridisation of an atom can be identified by observing the number of sigma bonds and Lone pair of electrons around it.
1 sigma bond = 1 hybrid orbital and
1 lone pair = 1 hybrid orbital
To identify the hybridisation, first find the total number of hybrid orbitals around the atom and there by find hybridisation.
If the atom has 2 hybrid orbitals, it is sp hybridisation
3 hybrid orbitals, it is sp2 hybridisation
4 hybrid orbitals, it is sp3 hybridisation
In Glycine,
There are two oxygen atoms. Consider the O- attached to C atom by double bond,
It has 1 sigma bond and 2 lone pair of electrons.
Which means the total hybrid orbitals around it are 3.
3 hybrid orbitals refer to sp2 hybridisation.( sp2 hybridisation forms 3- h...
