2.2.16 hybridisation

what is the ground state of carbon electrons

1s2 2s2 2p2

what does this electronic structure imply

carbon forms two covalent bonds using unpaired 2p electrons

what is the electron configuartion of carbon in excited state

1s2 2s1 2p3

why can an electron easily be promoted from 2s to 2p

the difference in energy between the 2s and 2p subshell is small

if 1 2s and 3 2p orbitals blend together, what is formed

4 ne whybrid orbitals of 4 sp3 orbtials

what is the electron domain geometry and shape of sp3 hybridised

4 ed tetrahedral, 109.5

what is produced when 1 2s and 2 2p orbitals blend together

3 sp2 orbitals

what is the EDG and angle for sp2 orbitals

3 ED, 120, trigonal planar

what is left

1 2p orbtial per carbon atom

what can this p orbital do

overlap sideways with another p orbital to form a pi bond

what is formed when 1 2s and 1 2p orbtials combine

2 sp hybrid orbital

what is the ED and angle for sp

2 ED, linear 180

what is left and what can they do

2 2p orbitals which can overlap sideways with adjacent carbon atoms to form 2 pi bonds and a triple bond
