The compounds of carbon and silicon with hydrogen would be expected to be completely covalent according to these models, but the dhectionality of the bonds, which is towards the apices of a regular tetrahedron, is not explained by these considerations. Another of Pauling s suggestions which accounts for this type of directed covalent bonding involves so-called hybrid bonds.

Here, the bonding between carbon atoms is briefly reviewed fuller accounts can be found in many standard chemistry textbooks, e.g., [1]. The carbon atom [ground state electronic configuration (ls )(2s 2px2py)] can form sp sp and sp hybrid bonds as a result of promotion and hybridisation. There are four equivalent 2sp hybrid orbitals that are tetrahedrally oriented about the carbon atom and can form four equivalent tetrahedral a bonds by overlap with orbitals of other atoms. An example is the molecule ethane, CjH, where a Csp -Csp (or C-C) a bond is formed between two C atoms by overlap of sp orbitals, and three Csp -Hls a bonds are formed on each C atom. Fig. 1, Al. 

Although many of the aromatic compounds based on benzene have pleasant odors, they are usually toxic, and some are carcinogenic. Volatile aromatic hydrocarbons are highly flammable and burn with a luminous, sooty flame. The effects of molecular size (in simple arenes as well as in substituted aromatics) and of molecular symmetry (e.g., xylene isomers) are noticeable in physical properties [48, p. 212 49, p. 375 50, p. 41]. Since the hybrid bonds of benzene rings are as stable as the single bonds in alkanes, aromatic compounds can participate in chemical reactions without disrupting the ring structure.

The energy of the one-electron bond in the lithium molecule ion is calculated with consideration of the s-p separation to be 1.19 e. v and the hybrid bond orbital involved is shown to involve about equal contributions from the 25 and 2p orbitals of the lithium atom.

Some 50 years have now passed since the publication of a series of papers bearing the title The Nature of the Chemical Bond. 1 7 These papers have provided chemists, physicists, biologists, and mineralogists with the conceptual framework, based on simple valence bond theory and the theory of hybrid bond orbitals, required to investigate a myriad of problems involving the nature of the bonding exhibited in molecules and solids. The ideas contained in these papers were subsequently elaborated on in The Nature of the Chemical Bond which is probably the most often-cited book in the scientific literature.9... 

Second, the theory of hybrid bond orbitals was utilized recently to discover a new type of chemical bond involving the resonating unshared electron pair.30 31 For example, bis(bistrimethylsilylmethyl) tin(II), (CH3)3 Si 2HCSnCH Si(CH3)3 2, forms dimers in the solid state having a tin-tin bond characterized by resonance of an unshared electron pair or...

Our knowledge of the properties of orbitals indicates that some of the 3d orbitals might be combined with the 45 and 4p orbitals to form bond orbitals in metals, the other 3d orbitals being unsuited to bond formation, but does not suffice to give a theoretical derivation of the number of d orbitals in each of these classes. Empirical evidence, outlined below, indicates that about 2.44 d orbitals (on the average) show only weak interatomic interactions, and that the remaining 2.56 d orbitals combine with the 5 orbital and the p orbitals to form hybrid bond orbitals. 

This system is based on the observations (Pauling 1947) that a linear relation between single-bond radius and atomic number holds for bonds of constant hybrid character, and that for an element the single-bond radius is (at least approximately) linearly dependent on the d character of the dsp hybrid bond orbitals. 

At that time I was handicapped by my remembering a misinterpretation that I had made of some results obtained in 1932 by one of my students, Ralph Hultgren (6). He had begun to make a thorough study of sets of equivalent spd hybrid bond orbitals, and soon found that he could not handle the computational problem in those precomputer days. I pointed out that the best hybrid orbitals have cylindrical symmetry about... 

The obvious conclusion to be reached is that there are three kinds of spd orbitals hybrid bond orbitals, contracted d orbitals, and about 0.70 other orbitals. In 1938 I considered this 0.70 unstable orbital per atom to be unsuited for either bond formation or... 

In cinnabar, HgS, the sulfur atom has a normal-valence structure, in which it forms two bonds with mercury atoms. The Hg—S—Hg bond angle is 105°. The mercury atom may be described as forming two oppositely directed bonds with use of two sp hybrid bond orbitals the value of the S—Hg—S angle is 172°. The bond length, 2.36 A, leads,...
