Key Concepts

sp Hybridization

sp hybridization occurs when one s orbital hybridizes with one p orbital, resulting in two sp hybrid orbitals arranged linearly at a 180° angle. This type is typically found in carbon atoms forming triple bonds, where the remaining two unhybridized p orbitals participate in the formation of two ? bonds.

sp2 Hybridization

sp2 hybridization involves the mixing of one s orbital with two p orbitals to form three sp2 hybrid orbitals arranged in a trigonal planar geometry with 120° angles. This hybridization is common in carbon atoms that form double bonds, where the remaining unhybridized p orbital is used to form one ? bond.

Carbon-Carbon Bonding with Mixed Hybridizations

When carbon atoms with different hybridizations form a bond, the type of hybridization on each atom influences the bond’s properties. In a molecule where an sp hybridized carbon bonds to an sp2 hybridized carbon, the bond is a sigma bond resulting from the side-on overlap of an sp orbital with an sp2 orbital, which dictates the geometry and reactivity of that single bond.
