| Abstract | ||
| . This paper describes simple rules that can minimize the uncertainties in explaining the process of finding the hybridization of a p-block central atom and the geometrical structure in a covalent molecule or an ion. The current rules to predict the hybridization and geometrical structure are based on Lewis’s structure, Pauli’s principle, covalent bond theories and the VSEPR model. This is a practical and easy way used by teachers and students. | ||
