Visualizing sp3 hybrids
In the
table below you
may choose to display the sp
3i, sp
3j,
sp
3k
or sp
3m orbitals that are left
after combining the 2s and the 2p
x, 2p
y
and 2p
z orbitals to make the four sp
3
hybrids. Use the pop-up menus to choose up to four different
orbitals to display at once.
If your browser supports Java Applets you will get better performance by using Java.
NB: Safari is very slow and IE behaves unpredictably; use Chrome or FireFox.
