Drawing Orbital Overlap Diagrams for Carbanions and Carbocations -Help Me With Organic Chemistry!

This video will show you how to draw the orbitals of carbocations and carbanions. A common question in organic chemistry is what is the hybridization of carbocations or carbanions and then to draw the orbitals. This video will show you how to draw the orbitals of a carbocation and how to draw the orbitals of a carbanion. Carbocations are sp2 and carboanions are usually sp3 (unless they have the ability to resonate).

This video is part of a series called How to be Successful in Organic Chemistry. It this series I go over numerous problems that a student could expect to see in there organic chemistry 1 course. Doing organic chemistry practice problems will make you more successful in organic chemistry and biochemistry.

I recommend that you download the problem from the link below and attempt the problem yourself and use this video to correct your work.
