Each of the structures for CIOCI, NCOH, and CINO has atoms connected in the order given in their formulas. Identify the type of hybridization for the central atom in each compound. Write the appropriate items to their respective bins. a. nitrogen in CINO
b. oxygen in CIOCI
c. carbon in NCOH
1. sp
2 sp2
3. sp3

see explanation

Explanation:

If we look at the structures of each of the compounds we can be able to deduce the accurate hybridization of each of the atoms listed.

Looking at ClNO - we can see that the nitrogen atom is linked to oxygen by a double bond and linked to chlorine by a single bond retaining a lone pair on nitrogen. Hence the nitrogen is in sp2 hybridized state.

For ClOCl, the compound has a sp3 hybridized oxygen atom linked to two chlorine atoms as expected retaining two lone pairs on oxygen.

For NCOH, the carbon atom is doubly bonded to oxygen hence it is sp2 hybridized.
