Document Summary

**location of (valence) atomic orbitals (ao"s) of each electron in the electron-pair bond. ** postulate: each electron-pair (covalent) bond arises from the (maximum) constructive overlap of the ao of each contributing valence electron in the bond. Each bond is then a molecular orbital (mo) and must obey pep . Constructive (in-phase) overlap of constituent valence ao"s . If valence ao"s do not have proper orientation/shape/energy . => each valence ao must be reconstructed from the existing valence ao"s prior to bond formation (i. e. , prior to overlap) => hybridization <= create hybrid ao"s => hao. Aim: restructure valence atomic orbitals (ao"s) that contribute to the bonding picture . # of valence ao"s put into mix = # of resultant hao"s. Quantum mechanics (qm) + lewis: note: this vb quantum mechanical model (originally developed by linus pauling in 1932) - since it makes use of these hao"s.
