#1
Front (Question)

Are the 2s orbitals and 2pz orbitals allowed to form 2s2pz hybrid orbitals in C3v?

Card front image
Back (Answer)

Yes (The 2pz orbital is totally symmetric [A1])

#2
Front (Question)

Identify the matrix elements below

Card front image
Back (Answer)

Off-diagonal elements (This leads to mixing of degenerate atomic orbitals)

#3
Front (Question)

Why can’t molecules with D point group symmetry have spz hybrids?

Back (Answer)

⊥C2 ensures s and p atomic orbitals have different symmetry

#4
Front (Question)

What is the s-orbital symmetry on the central atom of molecule?

Back (Answer)

Totally symmetric irreducible representation

#5
Front (Question)
