4.
Consider the incomplete orbital representation of O2, below right
a.
Identify which lobes are hybrid orbitals (identify the type) and which lobes are p orbitals
b.
Use dotted lines to show any bonds.
c.
Use up or down arrows to show electron occupation of each hybrid orbital or bond
A double bond consists of one o overlap and one overlap.
