Weblink 5.6 The sp hybrid atomic orbitals

The two HAOs point in opposite directions to one another, and the two unhybridized 2p AOs point at right angles to the HAOs.

• Select the orbitals you wish to display using the checkboxes.
• "Click and drag" on the 3D picture of the orbital to rotate it; "Click, shift and drag" to zoom in and out.
• The 3D representation can be shifted between solid, translucent and mesh views by using the "Model View" radio group.
• You can alter the value of the wavefunction at which the iso-surface is plotted by typing a new number into the "Iso-surface value" box and clicking the "Update" button.
