Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. Make certain each sentence is complete before submitting your answer. 1. An sp3-hybrid atom possesses hybrid orbital(s) in its valence shell. s orbital(s) p orbital (s), and 2. Such an atom can form up to o bonds and T bonds n 6/16/2015

Explanation / Answer

A)

given sp3 hybridization

we know that

for a sp3 hybridization

one s orbital and three p orbitals are mixed , creating four hybrid orbitals

so

we get

An sp3 hybridized atom possesses 1 s orbital , 3 p orbitals and 4 hybrid orbitals in its valence shell

2)

now conisder an atom with sp3

we know that

sigma bonds are formed between hybrid orbitals

as there are four hybird orbitals

four sigma bonds can be formed

so

zero pi bonds can be formed

so

such an atom can form up to 4 sigma bonds and 0 pi bonds
