What is the state of hybridization for so3?
SO3 is a planar molecule with bond angles of 120 0 - the hybridisation of S is sp2 Note that a typical description of bonding involves 3 double bonds - this assumes that there is good overlap between d orbitals on the S atom and p orbitals on the O atom- calculation suggests that this pi bonding is at best very weak.
What happens when electron shells of two atoms overlap?
A hybrid is created when two atomic orbitals overlap. Further, "hybridization is a theoretical process involving the combination of atomic orbitals to create a new set of orbitals that take part in covalent bonding."
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.
Indicate how bonding is explained in term of molecular orbitals?
When two atoms combine, the overlap of their atomic orbitals produces molecular orbitals. An atomic orbital belongs to a particular atom, whereas a molecular orbital belongs to a molecule as a whole. Much like an atomic orbital, two electrons are required to fill a molecular orbital. A bonding orbital is a molecular orbital occupied by the two electrons of a covalent bond
What is the best description of the carbon-carbon bonds in ethene C2H4?
Two sp2 orbitals overlap to form a sigma bond, and two 2p orbitals overlap to form a pi bond.

What kind of bond is formed when 2s orbitals combine around the nucleus?
Orbital interactions with each other produce bonding. Single covalent bonds occur when 2s orbitals overlap and combine around the nucleus.
What two atomic orbitals or hybrid atomic orbitals overlap to form the c equals c bond in ethene?
sp2 hybrid orbitals overlap.

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.
A bond forms when two atomic or hybrid orbitals overlap to form a single bond A bond forms when two p orbitals overlap in a double or triple bond?
sigma, pi
What is the best description of the carbon-carbon bonds in ethene C2H4?
Two sp2 orbitals overlap to form a sigma bond, and two 2p orbitals overlap to form a pi bond.
What is the valance bond theory?
Valence Bond Theory: • A discussion of valence bond theory is based on the knowledge of atomic orbitals, electronic configuration of elements, overlap criteria of atomic orbitals and principles of variation and superposition. • Orbital Overlap Concept of Covalent Bond: When two atoms approach each other, partial merger of two bonding orbitals, known as overlapping of the orbitals occurs. • Depending upon the type of overlapping, the covalent bonds may be divided as sigma (H) bond and Pi ( p ) bond. • Sigma (H) bond: This type of covalent bond is formed by the end to end (hand on) overlapping of bonding orbitals along the inter-nuclear axis. The overlap is known as head on overlap or axial overlap. The sigma bond is formed by any one of the following types of combinations of atomic orbitals. Sigma (H) bond can be formed by - s overlapping, s - p overlapping, p - p Overlapping etc. • Pi ( p ) Bond: This type of covalent bond is formed by the sidewise overlap of the half- filled atomic orbitals of bonding atoms. Such an overlap is known as sidewise or lateral overlap. 42. Hybridization: • In order to explain characteristic geometrical shapes of polyatomic molecules concept of hybridization is used. • The process of intermixing of the orbitals of slightly different energies so as to redistribute their energies resulting in the formation of new set of orbitals of equivalent energies and shape. 43. Atomic orbitals used in different types of hybridization. Shapes of molecules/ions
When two s type orbitals overlap what do they form?
sigma bonds.
Is it true that with hybridization several atomic orbitals overlap to form the same total number of equivalent hybrid orbitals?
True.
