Which of the following hybridization schemes (sp³, sp², sp³d) allows the central atom to form more than four bonds?

sp³d because AO=MO

What is electron geometry is sp³ hybridization?

Tetrahedral

What is electron geometry is sp² hybridization?

Trigonal planar

What is electron geometry is sp hybridization?

Linear

Are molecules with sigma bonds and no pi bonds free or rigid?

free

When can an atom exist in a gas phase?

When bond order is positive

True/False Highest bond energy = highest bond order

True

A molecule with more electrons in orbitals will have a stronger/weaker bond energy

Stronger

How is bond order and bond length related?

Inversely, the higher the bond order is, the stronger the bond is. Stronger bonds are shorter

Where does the most density of electrons go in a MO model?

To the more electronegative atom

Is this the correct sketch of the lowest energy bonding molecular orbital in CO

Yes

Is this the correct sketch of the lowest energy bonding molecular orbital in CO

No

Identify the hybridization of the C atom in CH2Br2.

sp³

Which parts of acetylsalicylic acid are rigid?

Double carbon bonds, and ring structure

Do hybridized orbitals form pi bonds

No, they ONLY form sigma bonds
