Steric Number |
The sum of the number of covalent bonds and the number of lone pairs of electrons on the central atom gives the steric number. The steric number gives you the geometry of the molecule. |

Hybridization |
is the process of mixing atomic orbitals into new hybrid orbitals. |
|
What is the hybridization of the central atom in… |
SiCl4: sp3 HNC: sp SO3: sp2 TeCl2: sp3 |
|
Complete the first row of the table |
Electron- domain geometry: Linear Hybridization of the central atom: sp Dipole moment: No |
|
For each pair, determine the type or types of hybridization that could lead to hybrid orbitals at the specified angle. |
First: sp3d and sp3d2 Second: sp3 Third: sp2 and sp3d |
|
Bond Angle: is the angle formed between three atoms across at least two bonds. |
use VSEPR theory to get the molecular geometry around the central atom which will give you the bond angle. |
