Molecular Shapes & Hybridization
1. Molecular Shapes and Hybridization
• What do molecular
shapes tell us?
• solubility properties
• the degree of
attraction between
molecules
2. What is hybridization?
• An easy way to describe/represent how
certain bonding occurs at the sub-atomic
level
• it occurs when an s-orbital combines
with a p-orbital to form an orbital of
intermediate energy
3. What elements undergo Hybridization?
• Elements in the columns where Be, B, C, N,
and O are located
4. What do hybrids look like?
Normal Hybrid
Be He __ Be He __ __ __ __
2s 2sp
Linear
5. What about Boron?
Normal Hybrid
B He __ __ __ __ B He __ __ __ __
2s 2p 2sp
Trigonal
planar
6. Carbon is next...
Normal Hybrid
C He _ _ _ _ C He _ _ _ _
2s 2p 2sp
Tetrahedral
