Describe the hybridization bodel for non-ideal bond angles
More s character than ideal: smaller than ideal bond angles
Less s character than ideal: larger than ideal bond angles
Describe how to analyze bond length
- Atomic size: larger atoms have longer bonds
- Triple bond is shorter than a double bond, which is shorter than a single bond
- Fraction of s character in the bond:
more s character: shorter bond
less s character: longer bond
