• Resumen

  • This letter is in response to those who do not wish to retire the hybrid atomic orbital model. The argument is made that students in general and organic chemistry lack the necessary background skills to properly understand orbital bonding models, and thus, teaching these models in these courses leads many students to generate misconceptions.
