<p>sorry-weird place to post help for ochem. </p>

<p>but in the exambook, for page 43 (MO for hydroxy radical), how many lone pairs are on the oxygen in the lewis structure? since oxygen is sp2 hybridized i drew O surrounded by 5 lone electrons and singly bonded to H…is this reasoning correct?</p>

<p>and on the actual MO, of the three NB orbitals marked, which belongs to O and which to H? its not really denoted in the answer key.</p>

<p>Please help-ill love you forever!!!</p>
