Alright, so we are starting off with two carbons, and each carbon has four valueless electrons, or four dots.
00:12
And we're told that each carbon has three hydrogens.
00:18
So what we're going to do is play connect the dots.
00:21
Anything that is unpaired, we're going to pair it up.
00:26
And it's easiest to do this with the hydrogens first, because they only need one line to make them happy.
00:31
And whatever's left over, you're going to connect between the carbons.
00:36
All right, so in this case, the carbon on the left has one, two, three, four atoms and no loom pairs.
00:44
So it has four orbitals that are going to be involved in hybridization.
00:50
So it's an s, a p, a p, and a p, we just say sp3.
00:56
For the other carbon, it's the exact same story...
