Quick comprehension check
“A central atom in a molecule has one triple bond and one single bond. Determine the hybridization of the central atom and describe the expected molecular shape. A central sulfur atom is bonded to two oxygen atoms with double bonds and has one lone pair of electrons. Determine the hybridization of the sulfur atom and explain how this affects the shape of the molecule. ”
