Orbital HybridizationSlide 2Slide 3Covalent Bonding in H2Ethene Ripens FruitSlide 6Slide 7Slide 8Slide 9Slide 10Orbital Hybridization•A bonding theory that explains the 3D shapes and reactivity of organic molecules•Goals:oDetermine orbital hybridization at a given atom in a molecule.oConnect hybridization with shape and bond angles.oDescribe bonding in simple organic molecules in terms of the orbitals that form the bonds.•Three types of hybrid orbitals: sp3, sp2, and sp. Examples of each: CH4, H2C=CH2,HC=CH.Fig. 1-3, p. 3Covalent Bonding in H2Ethene Ripens FruitFig. 1-10a, p. 13Fig. 1-11, p. 13Fig. 1-10b, p. 13Fig. 1-12, p.
