A teacher asked about the hybridization of carbon atoms in C60. This time, we will analyze it through literature research. Viewpoint 1: The carbon in C60 belongs to sp2 hybridization. … Read more
From the perspective of hybridization theory, according to the principle of “linear combination of energy orbitals, most favorable for bonding,” the central atom with d8 should form a four-coordinate structure as shown below. Thus, dsp² is a hybridization of (n-1)d, ns, and np, and there is no sp²d hybridization because the energy difference is too … Read more
