Draw the Orbital Overlap Diagram for HCl (Hydrochloric Acid)

Показать описание
Chlorine is sp3-hybridized, and so there are four tetrahedrally-arranged 3sp3 orbitals surrounding it.
Hydrogen does not hybridize, so it's simply a circle for its 1s orbital.
There is overlap between Hydrogen's 1s and one of Chlorine's 3sp3 orbitals, but the rest of the sp3 hybrid orbitals hold lone pairs.

I never knew that this level of awesomeness could be achieved, but ChemistNATE has proven me wrong.
