Hybrid sp orbital. Intensity is proportional to ∫ |Ψ(r)|2dz.
Use your fingers or mouse to control the model. Use "zoom" (e.g. mouse wheel) to adjust intensity. Canvas is matched to your browser window.

Hydrogen wave functions
    Ψ2s ~ (2 - r) e -r/2,     Ψ2px ~ x e -r/2,
are used to get hybrid sp orbitals
    sp1 = (Ψ2s + Ψ2px ) / 2 1/2,     sp2 = (Ψ2s - Ψ2px ) / 2 1/2.
