    • Mixing of classical atomic orbitals to form “new” atomic orbitals is known as hybridization.
    • Paramagnetism: due to unpaired electrons which causes substances to be attracted into an induced magnetic field.
    • Diamagnetism: due to paired electrons which causes substances to be repelled into an induced magnetic field.
    • Single bonds are the longest and triple bonds the shortest
    • Single bonds are the weakest and triple bonds the strongest.
    • Hybridization is spx, x = number of δ bonds + number of lone pairs of electrons - 1
