Molecular Geometry: VSEPR model stand for valence-shell electron-pair repulsion and predicts the 3D shape of molecules that are formed in bonding. Sigma and Pi Bonds: All single bonds are sigma(?), that occur in the overlap of hybridized orbitals. Pi (?) bonds occur when parallel, unhybridized p orbitals overlap. Double bonds contain one sigma and one pi bond; triple bonds contain one sigma and two pi bonds. ? bonds are weaker than the ? bonds, but because ? bonds are found with ? bonds they are stronger than a single ? bond. Pi bonds also prevent rotation about the bond. Hybridization: Blending of outer bonding orbitals Intermolecular Forces: London Dispersion - Weak intermolecular force, temporary attractive force that results when

Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
