carbon and other atoms.

1s2 2s2 2p2 suggesting that it should only be able
to form two bonds (using the two singly occupied
orbitals). However it is known to make four single
bonds in many compounds and indeed never
forms just two bonds. This can be explained by
hybridisation - the mixing of atomic orbitals
producing degenerate orbitals used for bonding.
20. • sp3 hybridisation occurs when the 2s and 2p
orbitals merge to become sp3 orbitals (all of
equal energy, length etc.).
• sp2 is the same except only two of the p
orbitals are hybridised, leaving one p orbital
unchanged
• sp is the same except only one of the p
orbitals is hybridised and two p orbitals are
left unchanged
22. •Promote an electron from 2s to 2p to create an excited state...
• with 4 unpaired electrons we can form 4 bonds
• these bonds would be from 1 x C2s-H1s interaction and 3 x C2p-H1s
interactions
• but these bonds will have different lengths and strengths
• the 3 C-H bonds from the p orbitals maybe expected to have H-C-H bond angles
of 90 degrees
•"Blend" (i.e. hybridise) the s and the three
p orbitals...
• since we "mixed" 4 orbitals, we
get a set of 4 sp3 orbitals
• each sp3 hybrid contains a single
unpaired electron
23. The sp3 hybrid orbital looks like a "distorted" p orbital with
unequal lobes.The 4 sp3 hybrids point towards the corners of a
tetrahedron.
25. Summary
• sp3occurs when a C has 4 attached groups
• sp3 has 25% s and 75% p character
• the 4 sp3 hybrids point towards the corners of
a tetrahedron at 109.5o to each other
• each sp3hybrid is involved in a σ bond
26. • The bond formed by this end-to-end overlap is
called a sigma bond. The bonds between the
carbons and hydrogens are also sigma bonds.
• In any sigma bond, the most likely place to
find the pair of electrons is on a line between
the two nuclei.
