Bond Hybridization

What do oribitals tell you?

The most probable place you can have an electron in an atom or molecule, indicating the electrons' distribution.

sigma bonds

result of overlapping s orbitals or a combination of s and p orbitals.

pi bonds

result from the lateral overlap of p orbitals, allowing for additional bonding between atoms.

What are all single bonds? 

sigma bonds 

What do all double bonds have?

1 sigma bond and 1 pi bond

What do all triple bonds have?

1 sigma bond and two pi bonds

Hybridization

the mixing of atomic orbitals to form new, equivalent hybrid orbitals

How is hybridization determined for a central atom?

add the number of sigma bonds to the number of unshared electrons on the atom 

If the sum for the hybridization number is 2 what is the hybridization?

sp

If the sum for the hybridization number is 3 what is the hybridization?

sp²

If the sum for the hybridization number is 3 what is the hybridization?

sp²

If the sum for the hybridization number is 5 what is the hybridization?

sp³d

If the sum for the hybridization number is 6 what is the hybridization?

sp³d²
