| Atomic Orbitals | Isosurfaces of various atomic orbitals and some hybrid orbitals are displayed. | |
| Hybrid Orbitals | The origin and significance of hybrid orbitals is explained and illustrated with electron density plots and energy diagrams. | |
| Geometry of Hybrid Orbitals | The purpose of hybrid orbitals is explained. | Small balls are arranged in a linear, trigonal planar, or tetrahedral geometry. Various hybrid orbitals may be displayed and oriented towards the balls. Only the proper hybridization scheme will provide a set of orbitals that can simultaneously be directed at all of the balls. |
