Hybridization

: excitation/promotion of an e- from the s orbital to an empty p orbital to


create hybrid orbital known as: sp3, sp3sp orbitals

– Energy = between 2s and 2p orbital


– all bond length become equal
– VSEPR theory
– Covalent bonding
– Sigma bond = end to end
– Overlap of symmetrical / alike phase wave function
orbitals

– Pi bond = side to side overlap


– energetically, sigma bond is more stable than the pi bond
– Energy value: sigma ≠ pi
– Sp2 hybridized carbon:
