Document Summary

The arrangement of atoms around the central atom in a molecule or ion. The angle between two atoms bonded to a central atom. A model of bonding in which a bond arises from the overlap of atomic orbitals on two atoms to give a bonding orbital with electrons localized between the atoms. A model of bonding in which pure atomic orbitals combine to produce molecular orbitals that are delocalized over two or more atoms. Partial occupation of the same region of space by orbitals from two atoms. A bond formed by the overlap of orbitals head to head and with bonding electron density concentrated along the axis of the bond. A set of equal-energy orbitals that are the combination of an atom"s atomic orbitals. A hybrid orbital made up of one part s and three parts p atomic orbital. A hybrid orbital made up of one part s and two parts p atomic orbital.
