Study Notes
Bonds and Orbitals
- Side-by-side overlap of atomic orbitals forms pi bonds.
- A triple bond consists of two pi bonds and one sigma bond.
- Combining one s orbital and two p orbitals results in sp2 hybrid orbitals.
Molecular Geometry
- Trigonal planar geometry is observed in molecules like BF3 or CH2O.
- A molecule with a double bond has two regions of high electron density (RHED).
Electron Promotion and Hybridization
- The abbreviation 'LP' represents lone pair in molecular context.
- The process of promoting an s electron to an empty p-orbital to stabilize the orbitals is called hybridization.
Orbital Formation and Bonding
- Four identical sp3 orbitals are formed when one s orbital combines with three p orbitals.
- The shape of a molecule with all sp3 orbitals making identical bonds is tetrahedral.
- A bond formed between two sp3 hybridized orbitals is a sigma bond.
- One sigma bond can be formed between any two given atoms.
- A pi bond is formed when two p orbitals come together and bond, which exists outside the bonding axis.
