<p>How familiar do I need to be with orbital hybridization for the AP Chem exam? It's not a fun topic, for me anyway.</p>
<p>Bumpation.</p>
<p>i'm only scare about oxidation and reduction</p>
<p>Less so than with equilibrium. The only place that hybridization will come up is on the MC section in some type of integrated question.</p>
<p>hybridization aint so bad. You might get one question about hybridization or shape but it aint that big of a deal. If i were you, know Acid-Base Equillibrium, Gas Laws and Redox. Equillibrium is most important since the first question on long response is automatically an equillibrium.</p>
