BF2S Forums Orbital hybridisation

orbital hybridization is when atomic orbital is mixed with another orbitals to new hybrid orbitals.
like when a carbon atom S orbital is promoted to an excited stateis and mixed with p orbital to sp.
there is a sigma bond(it's the electron orbital linear to nucleus) and/or pi bond(perpendicular to the sigma and never get close to nucleus)
there is 4 electron orbitals or sp3 for the sp and then it's promoted to the dorbitals
i learned that last week in ib chem 1-2, i am a sophmore
by the way if you want to learn more this go to ib chem website
