Organic Chemistry Orbital Overlap Drawing of Methane (CH4) sp3 hybrid orbitals

Being able to visualize the bonding orbitals of an organic molecule is important to your success in organic chemistry. Indeed, understanding orbital bonding and hybrid orbitals will help you to understand reactivity as your organic chemistry class moves forward into more difficult subjects. Sp3, sp2 and sp orbitals are involved in sigma bonding and p orbitals are involved in pii bonding.

In this video I am drawing the orbital overlap drawing of methane. In methane the carbon is sp3 hybridized. This means it has four (4) sp3 orbitals and no unhybridized p orbitals.

I recommend that you download the problem from the link below and attempt the problem yourself and use this video to correct your work.
