14 Molecular structure Solutions to exercises Discussion questions E14.1(b) Consider the case of the carbon atom. Mentally we break the process of hybridization into two major steps. The first is promotion, in which we imagine that one of the electrons in the 2s orbital of carbon (2s2 2 3 2p ) is promoted to the empty 2p orbital giving the configuration 2s2p . In the
