Syllabus sections
Structure 2. Models of bonding and structure » Structure 2.2—The covalent model » Structure 2.2.16—Hybridization is the concept of mixing atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals for bonding. Analyse the hybridization and bond formation in molecules and ions. Identify the relationships between Lewis formulas, electron domains, molecular geometry and type of hybridization. Predict the geometry around an atom from its hybridization, and vice versa.
