| Summary | In this chapter 2, another formulae-based mnemonics by counting total number of σ bonds and localized negative charge (TSLNC) or localized lone pair of electrons (TSLLP) and subtract one (01) from this total value (TSLNC or TSLLP) to predict the power of the hybridization state of carbon atoms and hetero atoms in different organic compounds including heterocyclic compounds have been highlighted by innovative and time economic way. Educators can use this mnemonic in their teaching style in the classroom lectures after discussing conventional methods and its limitation to make chemistry intriguing. Here, I have tried to focus two (02) time economic mnemonics by including two (02) formulae for the prediction of hybridization of carbon atoms and hetero atoms in different organic compounds. This article encourages students to solve multiple choice type questions (MCQs) at different competitive examinations in a time economic ground on the prediction of hybridization state of carbon atoms and hetero atoms in different organic compounds. Prediction of hybridization state in different organic compounds is also useful to know the planarity of compounds, which is a very essential factor for evaluation of aromaticity of organic compounds. |
