Hybridization II

For any molecule given, you should be able to provide:
  • a Lewis structure (knowing the Lewis, you can predict the expected shape and then the type of hybridization involved)
  • a 3-D structural representation (including -name, bond angle, molecular dipole)
  • an energy level diagram using valence electrons to show hybrid orbital formation and final bonding
  • an orbital sketch (include sigma and pi bonds)

From today, you should have done all of the above for:

BH3 PCl3 N2H4 HCN C2Br2 CH2O C2Br4 CH3CH=CH2

[A happy thought to end this puppy today. Why was the polar bear not white anymore. Asnwer: Because it was tickled pink.)
