In this problem, we're asked to start by sketching the orbital diagram of boron.
00:07
And i'm only going to draw the second energy level, and boron has two electrons in the 2s and one electron in the 3p.
00:21
So the steps needed to construct the hybrid orbitals are one of these s electrons is promoted.
00:33
So i've got one electron in each of three lobes.
00:37
So what this means is that the orbitals that i'm putting a star under are hybrids, hybrid orbitals.
00:47
And the final orbital, i'll switch colors here, our orange orbital is not hybridized.
01:02
So we do have the electron promotion.
01:04
B asks us, what is the name given to this orbital? and it's an asp2 because 1s and 2 is hybridized for this to happen.
01:14
C asks us to sketch this.
01:17
And this, of course, is my most challenging part because i'm not an artist.
01:21
So there's my center.
01:26
Okay...
