What is hybridization?
Think about how atomic orbitals combine.
Give an example of sp3 hybridization.
Consider a molecule with single bonds.
What type of hybridization does PCl5 exhibit?
Think about the number of bonds in PCl5.
True or False: Hybridization only involves 's' and 'p' orbitals.
Consider elements that have d orbitals.
Given a molecule with a central atom that can utilize both 3p and 3d orbitals for bonding, predict its hybridization and the geometry it would adopt.
Consider how many bonds are formed.
If the central atom of a molecule has sp hybridization, what is the expected bond angle and which type of geometry will it likely have?
Think about a straight line formed by two atoms.
