Complete the table below for the composition of hybrid orbitals. TrigonalT Planar TetrahedralBipyramidal Linear one Bipyramidal Octahedral two Atomic orbitals mixed three four Hybrid orbitals formed sp d five Sp sp siX Unhybridized orbitals remaining zero
(1) Linear geometry:
One s orbital overlaps with one p orbital to form two sp hybrid orbitals.
Two unhybridized p orbitals remain.
(2) Trigonal planar geometry
One s orbital overlaps with two p orbitals to form three sp2 hybrid orbitals. One unhybridized p orbital remains.
(3) Tetrahedral geometry:
One s orbital and three p orbitals overlap to form four sp3 hybrid orbitals. None of the p orbitals remain as unhybridized.
(4) Trigonal bipyramidal geometry:
One s, three p and one d orbitals overlap to form five sp3d hybrid orbitals. Four d orbitals remain unhybridized.
(5) Octahedral geometry:
One s, three p and two d orbitals overlap to form six sp3d3 hybrid orbitals. Three d orbitals remain unhybridized.
