According to the orbital hybridization model what type of
orbitals overlap to make the C-H sigma bonds in propane. (B) What
type of orbitals overlap to form the sigma C-C bonds?
Describe the hybridization around the carbon atoms in acetylene
(include the diagram of the orbital overlaps showing various bond
types, sigma and pi).
Which statement explains why the theory of orbital hybridization is important to our understanding of chemical bonding?
1-Hybridization provides a theory in which orbitals are not localized on specific atoms.
2-Lewis structures do not depict hybridization, so another theory was required.
3-There are not enough atomic orbitals to explain experimentally observed molecular shapes.
4-Use of atomic orbitals to describe bonding in some molecules does not result in the experimentally observed bond angles.
