We're being asked to determine the composition of hybrid orbitals for each of the electronic geometry given.1. LinearAX2: Shape• There are 2 groups (atoms) around the central element:• It will need 2 orbitals to accommodate these 2 groups.Orbitals that can be used by the central atom:Subshell                   Total # of orbitals         s             _                 1 orbital  [readmore]        p          _ _ _             3 orbitalsAtomic Orbitals Mixed: 1 s orbital and 1 p orbital▪ 1 s orbital + 1 p orbitals = 2 orbitals (2 groups)▪ s + p = sp# of orbitals used = # of hybrid orbitals formedHybrid Orbitals formed: 2 sp▪ 2 p orbitals remainingUnhybridized  orbitals remaining: 2 p orbitals2. Trigonal PlanarAX3: Shape• There are 3 groups (atoms or lone pairs) around the central element:• It will need 3 orbitals to accommodate these 3 groups.Orbitals that can be used by the central atom:Subshell                   Total # of orbitals         s             _                 1 orbital          p          _ _ _             3 orbitalsAtomic Orbitals Mixed: 1 s orbital and 2 p orbitals▪ 1 s orbital + 2 p orbitals = 3 orbitals (3 groups)▪ s + p + p = sp2# of orbitals used = # of hybrid orbitals formedHybrid Orbitals formed: 3 sp2▪ 1 p orbitals remainingUnhybridized  orbitals remaining: 1 p orbital3. TetrahedralAX4: Shape• There are 4 groups (atoms or lone pairs) around the central element:• It will need 4 orbitals to accommodate these 4 groups.Orbitals that can be used by the central atom:Subshell                   Total # of orbitals         s             _                 1 orbital          p          _ _ _             3 orbitalsAtomic Orbitals Mixed: 1 s orbital and 3 p orbitals▪ 1 s orbital + 3 p orbitals = 4 orbitals (4 groups)▪ s + p + p + p = sp3# of orbitals used = # of hybrid orbitals formedHybrid Orbitals formed: 4 sp3▪ 0 p orbitals remainingUnhybridized  orbitals remaining: 0 p orbitals4. Trigonal BipyramidalAX5: Shape• There are 5 groups (atoms or lone pairs) around the central element:• It will need 5 orbitals to accommodate these 5 groups.Orbitals that can be used by the central atom:Subshell                   Total # of orbitals         s             _                 1 orbital          p          _ _ _             3 orbitals        d        _ _ _ _ _          5 orbitalsAtomic Orbitals Mixed: 1 s orbital, 3 p orbital, 1 d orbital▪ 1 s orbital + 3 p orbitals + 1 d orbital = 5 orbitals (5 groups)▪ s + p + p + p + d = sp3d# of orbitals used = # of hybrid orbitals formedHybrid Orbitals formed: 5 sp3d▪ 4 d orbitals remainingUnhybridized  orbitals remaining: 4 d orbitals5. OctahedralAX6: Shape• There are 6 groups (atoms or lone pairs) around the central element:• It will need 6 orbitals to accommodate these 6 groups.Orbitals that can be used by the central atom:Subshell                   Total # of orbitals         s             _                 1 orbital          p          _ _ _             3 orbitals        d        _ _ _ _ _          5 orbitalsAtomic Orbitals Mixed: 1 s orbital, 3 p orbital, 2 d orbitals▪ 1 s orbital + 3 p orbitals + 2 d orbitals = 6 orbitals (6 groups)▪ s + p + p + p + d = sp3d2# of orbitals used = # of hybrid orbitals formedHybrid Orbitals formed: 6 sp3d2▪ 3 d orbitals remainingUnhybridized  orbitals remaining: 3 d orbitals
