Chapter 8 Lecture 8.5 Hybridization Section 8.3 Bonding Theories
Molecular Orbitals an orbital formed by the overlap of atomic orbitals –B–Bonding orbital Can be occupied by two electrons in a covalent bond –S–Sigma Bond –P–Pi Bond
Sigma Bond σ Head-on overlap of two atomic orbitals Has axial symmetry
Sigma Bond σ Hydrogen, H 2
Sigma Bond σ Fluorine, F 2
Pi Bond π Side by side overlap of two orbitals
