My textbook says that:
1. Covalent bonds result in orbital hybrization
2. 2 Atom molecules are linear (duh?)
3. After more than 2 atoms, hybrization of orbitals will result in the atoms attaching in the same pattern as the hybrid orbitals: a tetrahedral pyramid.
My question is, can the two-atom molecules also result in the pyramid-like hybrid orbitals despite having a "linear" atom structure? If not, what do their orbitals look like together?
Edit: the constant verifications for every post and the registration is starting to piss me off. I'm terrible at them apparently and it won't let me post. Whoever's in charge of this really needs to chill on the security protocols.
