Given the strutucre of chloropyll what is correct
1 dative covalency
2 sigma bond
3 sp3 hybridization
1 and 2 are correct...but not sure about 3??
Ohh....Is'nt due to dative and covalent bonding the shape around
Mg is tetrahedral so sp3 hybridization ould be correct also....? Is
this correct?
Not sp3, because the aromatic ring (either porphyrin or chlorin,
depending on the exact chlorophyll type) is planar.
