This document provides a review of Lewis structures and hybridization. It begins by reviewing how to draw Lewis structures for diatomic molecules such as O2, N2, and Cl2 using the octet rule. It then shows examples of drawing Lewis structures for more complex molecules like CH4, NH3, CCl4, BF3, and PCl5. It discusses exceptions to the octet rule for boron and phosphorus.
The document then reviews carbon hybridization, specifically sp3, sp2, and sp hybridization. It explains how hybridization results in new hybrid atomic orbitals that combine s and p orbital characteristics. This allows carbon to form different numbers and types of bonds based on its hybridization
