Question

Select the word or phrase to describe hybrid orbitals and to predict the shapes of the resulting molecules.


Two sp
hybrid orbitals form when one s- and two p-orbitals mix.
The resulting electron domain geometry is
If one of the hybrid orbitals is filled with a lone pair of electrons, a
geometry forms when the atoms bond with other atoms.

Answer 1

Three sp2 hybrid orbitals form when one s- and two p-orbitals mix.
The resulting electron-domain geometry is trigonal planar.
If one of the hybrid orbitals is filled with a lone pair of electrons, a bent molecular geometry results.
