S − p hybridization on each Ge atom in planar trans-digermane has been described as sp^1.5 for the Ge―Ge sigma bond and sp^1.8 for the Ge―H bond. Suppose that the Ge lone electron (in terms of Lewis dot valence electrons) is in an spⁿ hybrid orbital, where n is the hybrid’s p character. The three in-plane s-p hybrid orbitals on germanium must be normalized and mutually orthogonal. Assume that the molecule lies in the xz plane with the Ge―Ge bond on the z axis. Express the hybrid orbitals as linear combinations of the p and s AOs and calculate the coefficients. Use these values to calculate n.
