1.3 Valence Bond Theory and Hybridization | Organic Chemistry

Chad goes over Valence Bond Theory and Hybridization covering both the standard atomic orbitals as well as the hybrid orbitals that may be involved in bonding. He specifically shows the nature of sp, sp2, and sp3 hybrid orbitals and how to identify the hybridization of an atom. Finally, Chad compares and contrasts sigma bonds and pi bonds, how to recognize where each are present in a structure, and how to identify which orbitals are overlapping to create a particular bond.
