Study Notes

AXE Notation Overview

  • AX2 indicates a molecular geometry with two bonding groups around a central atom.
  • The AX2 molecular shape is linear with bond angles of 180 degrees.
  • Hybridization for AX2 is sp, involving the mixing of one s orbital and one p orbital.

Bent Molecular Geometry

  • AX2 E2 represents a bent molecular shape, which occurs when there are two bonding pairs and two lone pairs of electrons around the central atom.
  • The presence of lone pairs affects the bond angle, creating a non-linear geometry.
