Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that hybridization is a concept in organic chemistry that explains how atomic orbitals mix to form new hybrid orbitals, which are used to form covalent bonds.
Recognize that carbon atoms can undergo hybridization to form sp, sp2, or sp3 hybrid orbitals, depending on the type of bonds they form.
Learn that sp3 hybridization involves the mixing of one s orbital and three p orbitals to form four equivalent sp3 hybrid orbitals, which are used in forming single bonds.
Explore how sp2 hybridization involves the mixing of one s orbital and two p orbitals to form three sp2 hybrid orbitals, typically seen in double bonds.
Examine sp hybridization, where one s orbital and one p orbital mix to form two sp hybrid orbitals, commonly found in triple bonds.
