Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The bonding in formaldehyde has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Hybridization is the mixing of valence atomic orbitals to get equivalent hybridized orbitals that having similar characteristics and energy.
Geometry of a molecule can be predicted by knowing its hybridization.
Electron geometry is the shape of a molecule predicted by considering both bond electron pairs and lone pair of electrons.
Molecular geometry is the shape of a molecule predicted by considering only bond pair of electrons
Sigma (σ) bonds are the bonds in which shared hybrid orbital’s electron density are concentrated along the internuclear axis.
Pi (π) bonds are the bonds in which shared unhybridized orbital’s (p, d, etc) electron density are concentrated in above and below of the plane of the molecule.
