Review Videos: Hybridization
This set of Khan Academy videos explains the “construction” of sp3, sp2, and sp hybridized orbitals (on carbon) from atomic orbitals. Each video is ~12 minutes long. These videos should be helpful for students who would like some additional review of the concept of hybridization. The sp video (3rd video in the sequence) also sums up the lessons by showing how to identify hybridization in a simple organic structure.
The final video in this set, “More hybridization,” discusses the use of “steric number” to determine hybridization and geometry (VSPER).
