Sp3, Sp2 and Sp Hybridization, Geometry and Bond Angles

Sp³, sp² and sp hybridization, or the mixing of s and p orbitals which allows us to create sigma and pi bonds, is a topic we usually think we understand, only to get confused when it reappears in organic chemistry molecules and reactions. When I took general chemistry, I simply memorized a chart of geometries and […]
