Study Notes
Hybridization of Orbitals and Bonding
- Bond angles of 109.5º do not align with traditional orbital theories; hybridization explains this discrepancy.
Types of Bonds
-
Sigma (σ) Bonds:
- Form through end-to-end orbital overlap.
- Present in all types of bonds.
-
Pi (π) Bonds:
- Form from side-to-side overlap of unhybridized p-orbitals.
- There is no overlap in pi bonds.
- In a double bond, there is one pi bond; in a triple bond, there are two pi bonds.
Bond Structure
- Single Bonds: Consist solely of sigma (σ) bonds.
- Double Bonds: Comprised of one sigma bond and one pi bond.
- Triple Bonds: Comprised of one sigma bond and two pi bonds.
Hybridization Concept
- Hybridization modifies molecular models to represent observed molecular structures accurately.
- It involves mixing native atomic orbitals to create hybrid orbitals designed for bonding.
- Hybrid orbitals arrange themselves to maximize distance from one another.
Types of Hybridization
- sp³: Involves four effective pairs; bond angles of 109.5° (tetrahedral), 107.3° (pyramidal), or 104.5° (bent).
- sp²: Involves three effective pairs with a bond angle of 120° (trigonal planar).
- sp: Involves two effective pairs (linear geometry).
- dsp³: Involves five effective pairs (trigonal bipyramidal geometry).
- d²sp³: Involves six effective pairs (octahedral geometry).
sp³ Hybridization
- Characterizes molecules such as CH₄, NH₃, H₂O, SO₄²⁻, and ClO₃⁻.
- The hybridized sp³ orbitals overlap with hydrogen 1s orbitals in methane (CH₄) to form four sigma bonds.
sp² Hybridization
- Presents a trigonal planar configuration with bond angles of 120°.
- Characterizes molecules like SO₃, C₂H₄, and CO₃²⁻.
- In ethylene (C₂H₄), it features five sigma bonds and one pi bond, formed through the overlap of hybridized and unhybridized orbitals.
Bonding Mechanism
- Hybridized orbitals are responsible for sigma bonds.
- Unhybridized orbitals contribute to pi bonds.
