Hybrid Orbital Theory was established in 1931 byPauline(Pauling L) et alValence bond theoryIt is still a modern valence bond theory in essence, but it enriches and develops modern valence bond theory in terms of bonding ability, molecular spatial configuration, etc.
oneIn the process of bonding, due to the interaction between atoms, several different types of atomic orbitals with similar energy in the same molecule (i.ewave function), which can be linearly combined, redistribute energy and determine spatial direction to form a new atomic orbit with an equal number. This way of orbital recombination is called hybridization, and the new orbit formed after hybridization is called hybrid orbital.
Shape of electron cloud
twoThe value of the angle function of the hybrid orbital in a certain direction is much larger than that before hybridization, which is more conducive to the maximum overlap between atomic orbitals. Therefore, the hybrid orbital has stronger bonding ability than the original orbital (the orbital is bonded after hybridization).
threeThe hybrid orbits try to take the maximum angle distribution in space to minimize the mutual repulsion energy, so the bonds formed are more stable.Different types of hybrid orbitals have different angles, and the molecules formed after bonding have different spatial configurations.
fourOnly the electrons in different energy levels in the outermost electron layer can conduct orbital hybridization, and the two electrons in the first layer do not participate in the reaction.
fiveWhen the electrons in different energy levels undergo orbital hybridization, the electrons will transition from the lower energy layer to the higher energy layer, and the orbital energies of the electrons after hybridization are equal and higher than the energy of the original lower energy level but lower than the energy of the original higher energy level.Of course, there are severalAtomic orbitalParticipate in hybridization, and several hybrid orbits will be generated after hybridization.
The hybrid electronic orbit is more concentrated in angular distribution than the original one, so that it overlaps with the atomic orbits of other atoms to a greater extent when bondingcovalent bondStronger.

According to the types of atomic orbitals involved in hybridization, orbital hybridization has two main types: sp and spd, which are divided into sp and sptwo,spthree,dsptwo,spthreed,spthreedtwo,dtwospthreeAccording to whether the energy of several hybrid orbits formed after hybridization is the same, the hybridization of orbits can be divided into equal and unequal hybridization.
Several atomic orbitals in an atom are redistributed to form equivalent orbitals.In the process of synthesizing molecules from atoms, the original atomic orbitals are further linearly combined into new atomic orbitals under the influence of surrounding atoms according to the bonding requirements of atoms.This linear combination of different atomic orbitals in an atom is called hybridization of atomic orbitals.The hybrid atomic orbitals are called hybrid orbitals.During hybridization, the number of orbits remains unchanged, and the distribution direction and distribution of orbits in space change.The hybrid orbitals obtained by combination generally form strongerσBond or arrange lone pairs of electrons instead of existing in the form of empty hybrid orbitals.In several hybrid orbitals of an atom, the hybridization involving all the orbitals of a single electron is called equal hybrid orbitals;Hybridization involving lone pair electrons is called unequal hybridization orbit.
Hybrid orbitals have the same properties as atomic orbitals such as s and p, and must satisfy orthogonality and normalization.

The valence bond theory has made a strong demonstration of the nature and characteristics of covalent bonds, but it puts the basis of the discussion on the formation of a covalent bond by sharing a pair of electrons, and has encountered difficulties in explaining the number of valence bonds and molecular spatial structure of many molecules and atoms.For example, the valence electron of C atom is 2stwo2ptwoAccording to the law of electron arrangement, two s electrons are paired, only two p electrons are unpaired, and in many carbon containing compounds, C is 4 instead of 2, so it can be assumed that one s electron has been excited to the p orbital.So one s orbital and three p orbitals have unpaired electrons, which can form four covalent bonds, but the bonding direction and energy of s and p should be different.The experiment proves that: CHfourIn the molecule, four C-H covalent bonds are identical, the bond length is 109.3pm, and the bond angle is 109 ° 28 '.BCl3、BeCl2、PClthreeMany other molecules have similar situations.In order to explain these contradictions, Pauling put forward the concept of hybrid orbits in 1928, which enriched and developed the valence bond theory.He basedquantum mechanics(Quantum Mechenical) put forward that in the same atom, several atomic orbits of different types with similar energy can be superimposed and recombined with each other when bonding, and become new orbits with the same number and equal energy. This new orbit is called hybrid orbit.After one 2s electron in C atom is excited to 2p, one 2s orbital and three 2p orbitals are recombined into four spthreeThe hybrid orbitals form four identical C-H bonds with four H atoms. C is located at the center of the tetrahedron, and four H are located at the four top corners.

Acetylene molecule (CtwoHtwo)Medium carbonTriple bond(HC ∨ CH), VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) can judge the central atom hybrid model by the number of bonding electrons and the number of lone pair electrons. The number of bonding electrons is ABnThe value of n in;Number of lone electrons: (number of valence electrons - number of bonding electrons)/2.
priceElectron pairThe total number is the sum of the two. If the total number of valence electron pairs is 2, it is sp hybrid (linear), and if it is 3, it is sptwoHybrid (plane triangle), when it is 4, it is spthreeHybrid (tetrahedron), 5-spthreeD (triangular bipyramid), 6-spthreedtwo(Octahedron)。The difference between the number of bonding electrons and the number of lone electrons makes the molecular geometry different.
The process of overlapping orbits is called hybridization of atomic orbits.The new atomic orbitals created by the superposition of atomic orbitals are called hybrid orbitals.
⑴ When forming molecules (mainly compounds), atomic orbitals with similar energy in the same molecule (generally the sameEnergy level group(atomic orbitals) are superimposed (hybridized) on each other to form a new set of atomic orbitals.

(2) Hybrid track is more than the original trackBond energyWith strong force, the formed chemical bond energy is large, making the generated molecule more stable.Because the shape of the orbital angle distribution map has changed after the bonding atomic orbital hybridization (the shape is large at one end and small at the other), the angular distribution of the hybrid orbital in some directions is much larger than that of the unhybridized p orbital and s orbital, and its big end can form greater overlap with the original orbital when bonding,Therefore, the hybrid orbitals have stronger bonding ability than the original atomic orbitals.
⑶ The hybrid tracks formed shall meet the minimum repulsion principle as far as possible(Chemical bondThe smaller the repulsion force, the more stable the system is). In order to meet the minimum repulsion principle, the included angle between hybrid tracks should reach the maximum.
⑷ The spatial configuration of molecules mainly depends on theσkeyThe skeleton formed by the hybrid orbital isσTherefore, the type of hybrid orbital is related to the molecular spatial configuration.

Hybrid orbitals are limited to the outermost electrons, while the two electrons in the first layer do not participate in the reaction, while there are many orbitals in other layers. The electrons will "jump" from the lower energy layer to the higher energy layer. The original lower energy layer is because the electrons move in the opposite direction. After the transition, the electrons will only move in one direction, so the energy will be higher.And the energy formed after the reaction is between the original S orbital and P orbital energy.

For example, for ethylene, the carbon atom is the central atom, and the number of atoms connected to it is 3.

To put it bluntly, the original hybrid concept of atomic orbits was completely artificial.To explain CHfour--Such phenomena as tetrahedron.laterMolecular orbital theoryThe hybridization of atomic orbitals is naturally explained - just a re linear combination of atomic orbitals with atoms.At the same time, the molecular orbital theory also shows that this combination (hybridization) has no practical significance and can sometimes cause confusion.For example, in the hybrid theory, CHfourThe eight bonding electrons in the same spthreeOrbital energy level.In fact, they are divided into two different energy levels (both experiments and molecular orbital theory show this).However, due to the convenience of hybrid concepts, especially in organic chemistry, it is used to represent the geometric environment of an atom in a molecule.Today, hybrid orbits are only used to describe geometric shapes or environments.
In addition, overemphasizing the other "importance" of hybridization may cause unnecessary "detours" in learning chemistry in the future.

Experiments show that methane molecule CHfourIt is a regular tetrahedron configuration, with a bond angle of 109 ° 28 ', and four C-H bonds are identical.The base configuration of carbon atom C is 1stwo2stwo2pxone2pyoneThere are only two unpaired electrons. According to the valence bond theory, the electron spins are antiparallel paired to form bonds. It can only form two C-H bonds and cannot explain CHfourThe fact that C generates four C-H keys.If a 2s electron is excited to 2pxOn track, i.e
So there are four unpaired electrons, which can form four C-H bonds, thus explaining CHfourThe fact that C generates four C-H keys.But we already know that the bonding ability of the p orbital is greater than that of the s orbital, which means that three C-H bonds formed by three p orbitals are stronger than one C-H bond formed by one s orbital, making four C-H bonds different.And the bond angle of the four C-H bonds formed by three mutually perpendicular, spherical s orbitals and H is by no means 109 ° 28 '.Therefore, CH still cannot be explainedfourMolecular configuration.The only way to solve this problem is to eliminate the difference between p orbitals and s orbitals. For this reason, three p orbitals and one s orbitals must be mixed together to form a new atomic orbit. They point to four vertices of the tetrahedron respectively, and they are all single occupied orbitals. Then they pair with the 1s electron of H to form bonds, which can fully explain CHfourMolecular geometry.
This process of mixing different atomic orbitals into new orbitals in an atom is called hybridization of atomic orbitals, and the new atomic orbitals obtained are called hybrid orbitals.
Then we will analyze this problem from the aspect of energy.The energy required for the 2s electron of C to be excited to the 2p orbit is 795kJ · mol-1, and CHfourThe bond energy of C-H bond is 413kJ · mol-1。That is to say, the energy released from the formation of four C-H bonds can not only compensate for the energy required for electronic excitation, but also make CHfourEnergy that exists stably.CHfourMolecular geometry can be explained and CHfourThe fact that molecular energy is low and stable provides an experimental basis for hybrid orbital theory.[1]
