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.
