325 CHAPTER 9 COVALENT bonding : ORBITALS Questions 11. In hybrid orbital theory, some or all of the valence atomic ORBITALS of the central atom in a molecule are mixed together to form hybrid ORBITALS ; these hybrid ORBITALS point to where the bonded atoms and lone pairs are oriented. The sigma bonds are formed from the hybrid ORBITALS overlapping head to head with an appropriate orbital from the bonded atom. The bonds, in hybrid orbital theory, are formed from unhybridized p atomic ORBITALS . The p ORBITALS overlap side to side to form the bond, where the electrons occupy the space above and below a line joining the atoms (the internuclear axis). Assuming the z-axis is the internuclear axis, then the pz atomic orbital will always be hybridized whether the hybridization is sp, sp2, sp3, dsp3 or d2sp3.
