Sure. See the chapter on hybrid orbitals in any first-year chemistry
textbook. You'll also see there why the bonding pattern (and the angles
between bonds) changes when the bonds are double-bonds or triple-bonds.
See for example, Chemistry, Brown, LeMay & Bursten, Chapter 9.5-9.6
(pages 319-331 in the 8th ed.).

Thanks, I'll do that. I might have one downstairs.
But I want to explain it by discrete, constant-acceleration
pathways.
I achieved the molecular orbital on March 7,
see the gifs below:

This shows the molecular pathway to be 25% shorter
for each of the participants. ALSO, if you
look closely, each participant must go on
BOTH SIDES of each orbital.
(I know- it necessitated 96 frames instead
of 64- I noticed.)
In the single atom
it is confined to one side. This is a big advantage
for each electron.
But I haven't even considered double and triple bonds,
I admit. Hey! It's an ongoing puzzle. But it's
fun. This weekend I'm going to strap 200 pounds
to the center of the frame I have on bearings on the axle
of the Big Ball (see page) and roll it down a fairly
large hill.
Then I'm going to re-position the 200 pounds 6 inches to one
side of center and do it again.

is the coolest one.
It's too bad the yellow path is partially
blue on the top view (because it overlays the blue
from that angle).
