Unhybridized P orbital

Postby Maria Solis Disc 1G » Sun Nov 25, 2018 10:43 pm

In one of Dr. Lavelle's lectures he mentioned how a p orbital was left unhybridized. Can anyone explain this to me, and also would this unhybridized p orbital also contain electrons or not?

Yes, to the best of my understanding, this unhybridized p orbital does contain electrons, they're just not involved in the hybridization bonding. They're the ones that are involved in double and triple bonding!

P orbital is responsible for double and triple and they do contain electrons
