Orbital Hybridization – sp

by Corinth

Description

The carbon atom has four valence electrons located in 2s and 2p orbitals. In sp hybridization, one p-orbital will be hybridized with one s-orbital to form two hybrid sp orbitals (the remaining two non-hybrid p-orbitals). The axis of the hybrid sp orbital lies in one line, the axis of the non-hybrid p-orbital are perpendicular to each other and to the axis of the hybrid orbital.
