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.

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts.
