sp2 Hybridization

| Description | Another type of hybridization is possible and it takes place between three different atomic orbitals. Consider the borane compound, which is composed of a single boron atom connected to three identical hydrogen atoms. Before the boron atom bonds to the hydrogens, it must create the three hybridized orbitals necessary to form the bonds. Boron combines its 2s, 2px and 2py atomic orbitals to form three identical sp2 hybridized orbitals that contain 33% s character and 66% p character. In other words, the atomic orbitals alter their shape, combine and transform into three completely new orbitals, defined by new probability density functions. Each of these new hybridized orbitals combines with a corresponding hydrogen orbital, forming the bonds between boron and hydrogen. |
