In this type of bonding the 2s orbital and the three 2p orbitals of the carbon atom are mixed to produce four identical orbitals, a process known as sp3 hybridization. The CS2 molecule is linear and the carbon atom is bonded to each sulphur by a double bond.
sp HYBRIDIZATION. * Intermixing of one 's' and one 'p' orbitals of almost equal energy to give two identical and degenerate hybrid orbitals is called 'sp' hybridization. * These sp-hybrid orbitals are arranged linearly at by making 180 o of angle. * They possess 50% 's' and 50% 'p' character. Intermixing of one 's' and two 'p' orbitals of almost equal energy to give three identical and degenerate hybrid orbitals is known as sp 2 hybridization. * The three sp 2 hybrid orbitals are oriented in trigonal planar symmetry at angles of 120 o to each other.
