Chapter 9
Hybridization-
the mixing of orbitals
Linear- SP

Trigonal Planar- SP2

Bent- SP3

Tetrahadral- SP3

Pyramidal- SP3

Distorted tetrahedral- SP3d

Octahedral- SP3d2
Double or Triple bonds are joined to for one big one.
A triple bond is made up of one sigma bond and 2 pi bonds.
A sigma bond results from head to head overlap of atomic orbitals
Free rotation may occur around sigma bonds but not double or triple bonds
The Molecular Orbital Theroy- explains magnetism of molecules

sigma-1s*_______________
sigma-1s_______________
Paramagnetism- attached by magnetic field

Diamagnetism-
repelled by magnetic field
