Quantum Chemistry 11.1 – sp Hybridization

Short lecture on sp hybrid orbitals in non-linear polyatomic molecules.

In linear molecules such as BeH2, the valence 2p and 2pz orbitals of the central atom form a linear combination to create sp hybrid orbitals oriented towards the external hydrogen atoms.
