The species depicted below is an example of an n-heterocyclic carbene (NHC). No, didn't forget to draw a charge, it's really neutral! The carbon in the center has only two bonds (No hydrogens) and one lone pair, giving it no net charge. a. What is the hybridization of the center carbon? Remember your basic VSEPR rules. b.
