Hybrid Orbital Theory the Game

Front

What does hybridization of the central atom depend on?

Back

The number of sigma bonds and lone pairs.

Front

What is the bond angle in an sp² hybridized molecule?

Back

120°

Front

What is the main purpose of hybridization in atomic orbitals?

Back

To form bonds with maximum overlap.

Front

Arrange the following hybridization types in order of increasing bond angles: sp³, sp², sp.

Back

sp³ < sp² < sp.

Front

What is the total number of hybrid orbitals formed in sp³d hybridization?

Back

5.

Front

Define hybridization in the context of chemistry.

Back

Hybridization is the mixing of atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals suitable for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds.

Front

What are the types of hybridization based on the number of atomic orbitals mixed?

Back

sp, sp², sp³, sp³d, sp³d².

Front

What is the bond angle in an sp hybridized molecule?

Back

180°.

Front

How does the presence of lone pairs affect bond angles in hybridized molecules?

Back

Lone pairs repel more strongly than bonding pairs, reducing the bond angle.

Front

What is the hybridization of a molecule with a tetrahedral geometry?

Back

sp³.
