Hybrid Orbital Theory
- Theory used to explain bonding that occurs within molecules; takes atomic orbitals and
creates an equal energy hybrid orbital with unpaired electrons for bonding
- Example: bonding in CCl
4
o CCl
4
is a tetrahedral – The central carbon is attached to four atom so we must
have four unpaired electrons for bonding

Describe the hybridization on CO

What is the hybridization of the labeled central atoms on the following molecule
Organic Chemistry
• Main types of organic compounds to be wary of: Alkanes (contain all single bonds),
Alkenes (contain double bonds), Alkynes (contain triple bonds), Cycloalkanes (are cyclic
structures), Benzene (a cyclohexene with 3 double bonds evenly spaced out),
Carboxylic Acids (C bonded to OH, single bonded to another carbon and double bonded
to O), Aldehydes (C double bonded to O, single bonded to another carbon and single
bonded to H), Ketone (C double bonded to O and then single bonded on both sides to

Carbons), Ether (Oxygen in the middle and Carbons on either side), Alcohols (C bonded
to an OH group).
• If you know the number of Carbons you can figure out the number of Hydrogens in a
simple alkane or alkene (having only one double bond).
