Talk:Organic Chemistry/Foundational concepts of organic chemistry/Atomic structure

I've just noticed that 139.133.7.37 has cleared three large chunks of text without explanation, so I've reverted the changes. Please ensure that edit summaries are completed and/or a note posted on this talk page justifying any major changes like that. (Donovan|Geocachernemesis|Interact) 03:11, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm inserting some preliminary information on hybridization into the article, as requested on the organization page. I'm not really sure how to do the fancy formatting stuff, I did as well as I could. What's a good way to explain why the atoms hybridize? Mattb112885 03:42, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Please be aware that HYBRIDIZATION and MOLECULAR ORBITAL THEORY are two entirely DIFFERENT CONCEPTS. You currently have them lumped together in the same discussion, but they are not the same.

Molecular Orbitals
The molecular orbitals sections seems to be very incomplete and confused; it uses models for orbital hybridization, which, as previously pointed out, are not the same thing as Molecular Orbital Theory, and also seems to be referring to the allocation of electrons within a single atom's orbitals, rather than hybridized orbitals. 24.92.255.104 (talk) 22:05, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
