Use the method described in Example Problem 24.3 to show that the sp-hybrid orbitals ψ_a = 1/√2 (−∅_2s +∅_2pz) and ψ_b = 1/√2 (−∅_2s −∅_2pz) are oriented 180° apart.

In Problem 24.3

Use the framework described in Section 24.3 to construct normalized hybrid bonding orbitals on the central oxygen in O₃ that are derived from 2s and 2p atomic orbitals. The bond angle in ozone is 116.8°.
