If the HCOO- ion is described using delocalized electrons, why can the oxygen atoms not have sp3 hybrids?
◦ There must be an unhybridized p orbital to form the pi bond system.
◦ The s orbital must be unhybridized to form the pi bond system.
◦ There is no hybridization in systems with delocalized electrons.
◦ Molecular orbital theory does not include hybridization.
◦ The four lobes repel each other too strongly.
