#1
Front (Question)
Are the 2s orbitals and 2pz orbitals allowed to form 2s2pz hybrid orbitals in C3v?

Back (Answer)
Yes (The 2pz orbital is totally symmetric [A1])
#2
Front (Question)
Identify the matrix elements below

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)
What point group(s) allow for spz hybrid orbitals?
Back (Answer)
C∞,Cnv,Cn
#6
