Principles of Biology: Atomic and Molecular Orbitals

Vocabulary flashcards covering atomic orbital hybridization, molecular orbitals, and bond combinations from Fall Term 2026 Principles of Biology practice quizzes.

Atomic Orbitals

Theoretical orbitals that undergo hybridization to form atomic hybrid orbitals and indicated covalent bonds.

Molecular Orbital

An orbital that composes covalent bonds in a molecular structure.

Hybridization

The theoretical process where pairs of atomic orbitals combine to form hybrid orbitals that construct covalent bonds.

Covalent Bond

A chemical bond formed by the hybridization of atomic orbitals and composed of a molecular orbital.

Practice-Bond Combinations-sp?-sigma-pi

A practice test submission in Fall Term 2026 Principles of Biology testing knowledge on atomic hybrid orbitals, molecular orbitals, and covalent bonding involving $sp$ hybridization, $\sigma$ bonds, and $\pi$ bonds.

Practice-Bonussigma-pi

A bonus test submission module in Principles of Biology covering $\sigma$ and $\pi$ molecular orbitals and atomic orbital hybridization.
