Sp Hybridized

Describes molecules where carbon atoms are bonded through a linear combination of one s-orbital and one p-orbital, leading to a bond angle of approximately 180 degrees.

Hybrid Atomic Orbitals

Orbitals formed by the mixing of atomic orbitals in an atom, leading to equivalent orbital shapes suited for bonding.

C-C σ Bond

A single bond formed between two carbon atoms due to the overlap of sp3 hybrid orbitals.
