Electron Geometry and Hybridization

Flashcards covering electron group counting, hybridization, and electron geometry relationships based on the lecture transcript.

Bond Electron Group

Counts as ONE electron group, regardless of whether it is single, double, or triple.

Lone Pair Electron Group

Counts as ONE electron group for each lone pair.

2 Electron Groups

Corresponds to a linear electron geometry and $sp$ hybridization.

3 Electron Groups

Corresponds to a trigonal planar electron geometry and $sp^2$ hybridization.

4 Electron Groups

Corresponds to a tetrahedral electron geometry.

5 Electron Groups

Corresponds to a trigonal bipyramidal electron geometry and $sp^3d$ hybridization.

Linear Electron Geometry

The electron geometry formed by 2 electron groups with $sp$ hybridization.

Trigonal Planar Electron Geometry

The electron geometry formed by 3 electron groups with $sp^2$ hybridization.

Tetrahedral Electron Geometry

The electron geometry formed by 4 electron groups.

Trigonal Bipyramidal Electron Geometry

The electron geometry formed by 5 electron groups with $sp^3d$ hybridization.

Octahedral Electron Geometry

The electron geometry associated with 6 electron groups.
