Study Notes
Hybrid Atomic Orbitals Overview
- Hybridization Types: sp3d and sp3d2 refer to specific hybridization involving s, p, and d atomic orbitals.
- Hybridization Period: An atom that is sp3d hybridized must belong to the third period or higher.
Molecules with sp3d Hybridization
- BrF3: Central atom exhibits sp3d hybridization.
- SF4: Another example of a molecule with an sp3d hybridized central atom.
- ClF3: Example of sp3d hybridization indicating the mixing of one s, three p, and one d orbitals.
Molecules with sp3d2 Hybridization
- XeF4: Central atom is sp3d2 hybridized, indicative of an octahedral arrangement.
- IF5: Another molecule exhibiting sp3d2 hybridization.
- SF6: A classic example of sp3d2 hybridization, with six identical single covalent bonds.
Geometry and Bond Angles
- Octahedral Geometry: Characterized by sp3d2 hybrid orbitals, bond angles are 90°.
- sp3d Hybridization: Can accommodate five electron pairs with various bond angles.
Energy Levels
- Energy of sp Orbital: Lower than that of a p orbital but higher than that of an s orbital, reflecting the influence of d character in hybridization.
Identifying Hybridization
- CO2: Example of sp hybridization, showcasing double bonds with linear geometry.
- Noise in Options: Certain selections may not conform to expected hybridization geometries or bond angles, highlighting the importance of understanding the structure.
Summary of Bond Angles
- sp3d Hybridized Atom: Capable of exhibiting all bond angles relative to the arrangement of electron pairs.
- sp3d2 Hybridized Atom: Typically features 90° bond angles due to its octahedral structure.
