1.1.1 Chemical bonds and carbon structures

Carbon has six electrons, distributed in the ground state according to the electronic configuration 1s 2 2s 2 2p 2 . The four electrons in the upper layers 2s and 2p participate in chemical bonds by rearranging themselves in hybrid atomic orbitals, known as "sp". Three chemical bond configurations are possible for...
