Orbital overlap diagram of Ethanoic Acid (Acetic acid)

[@deeivide.s.3590]

This is the most clear explanation that I've ever seen. Thank you so much!!!!

[@somaiaalrawi8361]

I wanna say a Huge Thank you for explaining this in such an amazing way

[@MichaelWilliams-ny5nx]

Excellent. Thank you.

Have a question why oxygen make a hybrid orbital when it has its config confirmed from 2p4 only

Thank you so much.

Thank you for the explanation. But I have a question, why 2pz orbitals create pi bond, and not 2py orbitals?

[@chemistNATE]

I believe it does not actually matter. They are all “degenerate” meaning equivalent in energy

@@chemistNATE Thank you, that's what I thought.
