Cyclohexane has a trigonal planar geometry with all carbon atoms being sp3 hybridized. Each carbon atom forms sigma bonds with two neighboring carbon atoms, resulting in a chair-shaped structure. The hydrogen atoms are attached to the carbons in the plane of the ring.

The sp3d2 atomic hybrid orbital set accommodates how many electron PAIRS?
The sp3d2 atomic hybrid orbital set can accommodate 6 electron pairs.
Hybrid orbital with least s character is?
The hybrid orbital with the least s character is the sp3 hybrid orbital, which consists of 25% s character and 75% p character. This hybridization occurs when an atom combines one s orbital with three p orbitals to form four equivalent sp3 hybrid orbitals.
What is the hybrid orbital for SiBr4?
Sp3
Combination of one s orbital with one p orbital?
The combination of one s orbital with one p orbital forms a hybridized sp orbital. This hybridization occurs when an s orbital and a p orbital mix to create two equivalent sp orbitals that are linear in shape. The sp hybrid orbitals have 50% s character and 50% p character.
What determines the number of hybrid orbitals produced by an atom?
The number of hybrid orbitals produced by an atom is determined by the number of atomic orbitals that are mixed together to form the hybrid orbitals. For example, when an atom undergoes sp3 hybridization, one s orbital and three p orbitals combine to form four sp3 hybrid orbitals. The number and types of hybrid orbitals depend on the atomic orbitals participating in the hybridization process.
The sp3d2 atomic hybrid orbital set accommodates how many electron PAIRS?
The sp3d2 atomic hybrid orbital set can accommodate 6 electron pairs.
A new set of identical orbitals formed by combining the atomic orbitals of an atom involved in covalent bonding?
Molecular orbitals are formed by the overlap of atomic orbitals from different atoms in a covalent bond. These molecular orbitals have distinct shapes and energies compared to the atomic orbitals they are formed from. The number of molecular orbitals formed is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that combine.
How many atomic orbitals must be mixed to make the sp2 hybrid orbital?
five atomic orbitals must be mixed into one ; one s orbital; three p orbital; one d orbital, forming sp3d orbital
What is sp2 hybridisation?
Hybridization in brief can be said as inter mixing of orbitals. But you may have questions such as why? where ? when it happens and what exactly it is? Its very simple for example as in your question consider methane. The carbon atom has 2 electrons in 1s orbital and; 2 electrons in 2s orbital and; 1 electron in 2px orbital and; 1 electron in 2py orbital.In methane before carbon atom undergo bonding with hydrogen it undergoes hybridization ,that is 2s orbitals and 2p orbitals combines or hybridizes and for methane it is sp3 hybridization that means an s orbital had combined with 3 of the 2p orbitals (2px,2py,2pz). It has an tetrahedral arrangement (like four corners of a triangular pyramid) of four lobes of angles approx 109.5 degrees(The angle between H-C-H). After hybridization you cannot differentiate s orbital and p orbital.And in that sp3 hybrid each lobe has one electron and all the lobes bond with hydrogen atoms containing single electron.Note that all the lobes must be treated as an orbital such that they can maximum hold only of two electrons.Thus methane is formed as an result of head on collision of sp3 hybrids and hydrogen atoms.
Combination of one s orbital with one p orbital?
The combination of one s orbital with one p orbital forms a hybridized sp orbital. This hybridization occurs when an s orbital and a p orbital mix to create two equivalent sp orbitals that are linear in shape. The sp hybrid orbitals have 50% s character and 50% p character.
What is the hybrid orbital for SiBr4?
Sp3
What is the hybrid orbital for XeF4?
sp3d2
Hybrid orbital with least s character is?
The hybrid orbital with the least s character is the sp3 hybrid orbital, which consists of 25% s character and 75% p character. This hybridization occurs when an atom combines one s orbital with three p orbitals to form four equivalent sp3 hybrid orbitals.
What bond forms when two atomic or hybrid orbitals overlap to form a single bond?
A sigma bond forms when two atomic or hybrid orbitals overlap in a head-to-head fashion along the bond axis. This type of overlap results in a strong, directional bond between the two atoms.
What type of hybrid orbital is PF3 and PF5?
PF5 :SP3d
What are the hybrid orbitals in a molecule with a tetrahedral shape?
In a tetrahedral molecule eg methane (CH4), hybridisation occurs between the 2s orbital and three p orbitals to form four sp3 hybrid orbitals. See: http://www.chem1.com/acad/webtext/chembond/cb06.html and: http://www.mikeblaber.org/oldwine/chm1045/notes/Geometry/Hybrid/Geom05.htm
What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy an sp3 hybrid orbital?
