What Orbitals are used to form the covalent bonds in butane?
sp3 hybridized orbitals.
What is the orientation of orbitals in bonding?
the orientation of orbitals that form a chemical bond are orbitals on the atoms involved that point at each other.
Why do metals participate in covalent bonds?
Covalent bonding does not necessarily require that the two atoms be of the there is good overlap between the atomic orbitals of participating atoms.
What kind of bond does CCl4 has?
SiCl4 has empty d orbitals but CCl4 doesn't. so a water molecule can trigger a reaction with SiCl4. It is a single covalent bond.
What is the hybridization of the central nitrogen in N3-?
This is an odd question. Usually it is considered that the electrons transferred to an anion populate the lowest available orbitals, in the case of N3- these would be the 2p orbitals. In valence bond theory which is used to explain the bonding in covalent chemical compounds, atomic orbitals are hybridised so as to create new orbitals that point along bond axes.

the orientation of orbitals that form a chemical bond are orbitals on the atoms involved that point at each other.
What is covalent bond theory?
A covalent bond forms when the orbitals of two atoms overlap and a pair of electrons occupy the overlap region is called covalent bond theory
What is the process of combining valence orbitals of an atom to form hybrid orbitals?
Best thing to do: first look around in this related link on "atomic orbitals" and then ask more specific. The link is in the lower corner of this answer.

Covalent bonding does not necessarily require that the two atoms be of the there is good overlap between the atomic orbitals of participating atoms.
When 2s orbitals combine around the nucleus what type of bond is formed?
covalent hope i helped :)
What is the sharing of electrons between atoms to fill their outer orbitals called?
Formation of covalent bonds.
What does combining capacity mean?
The number of the period = The number of orbitals.
What happends when two atoms are chemically combined?
you have a chemical bond that is either ionic or covalent or something between the two extremes. Atoms become more stable when they are combined. Valence electron form hybridized orbitals with empty orbitals to form a bond in covalent bonds.
Side by side overlap of p orbitals?
The side-by-side overlap of p orbitals produce a pi bond. In the field of chemistry, pi bonds are covalent chemical bonds.
What is the theory of hybridization?
Hybridization comes from very complicated Quantum Mechanics and says that as many molecular orbitals that are being combound, the exact same number of hybrid orbitals are formed. Essentially, spherical s-orbitals and somewhat ellipcitcal p-orbitals are fused to make new orbitals that are identical. Example: 4 equivalent (tetragonal) sp3-orbitals in CH4 molecules.
What kind of bond does CCl4 has?
SiCl4 has empty d orbitals but CCl4 doesn't. so a water molecule can trigger a reaction with SiCl4. It is a single covalent bond.
