What is Organic Chemistry?
Shapes of Atomic
Orbitals
Aufbau Principle, Pauli Exclusion Principle, and
Hund’s Rule
•Aufbau Principle: Electrons occupy the lowest energy orbital available
first before moving to higher energy orbitals.
•Hund’s Rule: When filling orbitals of the same energy (like the three p
orbitals), electrons will fill each orbital singly before pairing up. This
minimizes electron-electron repulsion within the atom.
Hybridization of Atomic
Orbitals
What is Hybridization?
-produces linear
molecules at a 180°
angle.
Types of Hybridization
-The mixing of 1s
orbitals, 3p orbitals,
and 1d orbitals
results in 5 sp3d
hybridized orbitals
of equal energy.
