Hybrid Orbitals with Multiple Bonds
Hybridization with Multiple Bonds Still dealing with covalent bonds Looking more in depth at the traits of covalent bonds Chemical bonds—region of orbital overlaps
C2H4
Sigma(σ) Bonds All single covalent bonds Involves ONE HYBRIDIZED orbital Formed by orbital overlap (orbitals do NOT have to be the same) Resembles an “s” orbital when looking at chemical bond σ bond framework = electron group geometry Example: Figure 10.21(a) p. 412
Pi(π) Bonds Covalent bonds Involves half-filled, unhybridized orbitals Resembles a “p” orbital when looking at bond Created by “parallel orbital overlap” from remaining “p” orbitals Half-filled p orbitals
Multiple Covalent Bonds Combination of sigma and pi bonds Double covalent bonds— 1 sigma bond 1 pi bond Triple covalent bonds— 2 pi bonds
Again…. C2H4
