Which of the following statements about the formation of hybrid orbitals is false? The shapes of hybrid orbitals are different from the shapes of atomic orbitals. Hybrid orbitals are a means to explain the formation of bonds consistent with the molecular shapes predicted by the VSEPR model. O Hybrid orbitals are created by mixing an orbital on one atom with an orbital on a different atom. The formation of hybrid orbitals may require the promotion of an electron from an s orbital to a p orbital.

Determine a hybridization and bonding scheme for COIH. Draw its Lewis structure. Determine the hybridization, electron and molecular geometry for the central atom and the number of o and T bonds. Sketch the molecule including overlapping orbitals, label all bonds. (Make sure overlapping orbitals are the appropriate shape orbital that is ½ filled and can share an electron.). Is this molecule polar or non-polar?

If the symbol X represents a central atom, Y represents outer atoms, and Z represents lone pairs on the central atom, the structure Y- -X- -Y could be abbreviated as XY₂Z₂. Classify these structures by the hybridization of the central atom. sp XY₂Z3 sp² XY2 sp³ XY3 XY6 XY₂Z2 XY Z XY3Z XY 4 XY₂Z Answer Bank sp³ d sp³ d² XY3Z2 XY4Z₂ XY-Z XY5

What are the two hybridizations that can accept more than eight valence electrons? What shapes do these hybridizations produce?

What is the hybridization of each atom in the following molecules? (Do not include hydrogen atoms.)

2) a) Consider the following molecule . Given what you have learned about hybridization theory, draw an image or images explaining the bonding situation in this molecule. I want you to draw out all of the orbitals, hybrid orbitals and how they overlap to form the bonds in the molecule. Indicate the % s or p character in the given atomic and hybrid orbitals. Which C-C bond or bonds are the longest? In a paragraph or so explain the image or images you just drew. b) Lastly, consider the molecule below. Indicate the Molecular formula, the molar mass, label the hybridization of each atom except for hydrogen, indicate any chiral centers with a *, which bond or bonds are the shortest, identify by name of each functional group with an arrow pointing to the group.

I dont understand this. Determine the hybridization of the central atom in the compound PCl5.A. sp3dB. sp3C. sp3d2D. sp2
