The hybrid orbital:

displaymath15

in polar coordinates, neglecting the radial part, is:

displaymath17

Since this orbital is purported to be part of the tex2html_wrap_inline19 set, it should point at the corner of a tetrahedron. To see if this is true, take the partial derivative of this function with respect to tex2html_wrap_inline21


Expression for partial derivative of the purported hybrid orbital with respect to phi. Use `cos()', `sin()', `theta', and `phi' in your expression:
Submit the above expression for `grading':
