Chapter 5: Theories of Chemical Bonding, Example Molecular Orbital Theory…

- - - - process of combining pure atomic orbitals to produce hybrid orbitals that are identical
      - is used to accommodate the geometry of some molecules
      - sp hybrid orbital
      - sp2 hybrid orbital
      - sp3 hybrid orbital
      - involving d orbitals
    - - A multiple covalent bond consists of a sigma bond and additional one or two pie bonds
      - sigma bond : Two hybrid orbitals overlap head-onHybrid orbital overlaps pure s orbitalHybrid orbital overlaps pure p orbital head-on
      - pie bond : Two hybrid orbitals overlap side-ways pure p orbitals overlap sideways
    - - Carbon may form virtually an infinite number of compounds due to the types of bonds it can form ie single(C-C), double (C=C) and triple bonds
