Across
- 1. Type of orbital overlap where orbitals approach head-on along the internuclear axis.
- 5. Weaker bond formed by sideways overlapping of orbitals.
- 9. Geometry where atoms form a triangle in a plane, seen in sp² hybridized atoms.
- 10. Mixing of one s and one p orbital forming two linear orbitals.
- 11. Strong bond formed by axial overlapping of orbitals.
- 12. Spatial arrangement with bond angles of ~109.5°, typical in sp³ hybridized atoms.
- 14. Mixing of one s and three p orbitals forming four equivalent orbitals with tetrahedral geometry.
- 15. Mixing of one s and two p orbitals forming three orbitals arranged in a trigonal planar geometry.
Down
- 2. Arrangement where bonded atoms are in a straight line, typical of sp hybridization.
- 3. Two electrons occupying the same orbital with opposite spins.
- 4. Orbital overlap where orbitals approach side by side, leading to pi bond formation.
- 6. Equal energy achieved by orbitals of different types during hybridization.
- 7. Bond where one atom provides both electrons for the bond, often seen in NOâ‚‚ groups.
- 8. System of alternating single and double bonds, common in benzene-like compounds.
- 13. Visual method to show orbital filling using boxes and arrows.
