DIFFERENT HYBRIDIZATIONS AND STRUCTURAL AND SPATIAL ISOMETRIES (GRAPHICALLY)

Orbital hybridization, in simple terms, is a mathematical procedure which involves the combination of the individual wave functions for the atomic orbitals (pure) SYPA obtain wave functions for new hybrid orbitals with different shapes and orientations.

 Following hybridization procedure and possible hybridizations can take the carbon atom based on the mathematical combination of the s and p orbitals are summarized.

Another aspect that is also apparent from this summary table is that carbon atoms form four sp3 single bonds (simple) type sigma. Carbon atoms are sp2 hybridized two single bonds and one double and carbon atoms with sp hybridization form a single bond and one triple.
