#Cl[Ne]3s^2 3p_x^2 p_y^2 p_z^1# => #Cl[Ne]3(sp^3)^2 (sp^3)^2 (sp^3)^2 (sp^3)^1 #

#F[He]2s^2 2p_x^2 p_y^2 p_z^1# => #F[He]2(sp^3)^2 (sp^3)^2 (sp^3)^2 (sp^3)^1 #

#Cl[Ne]3(sp^3)^2 (sp^3)^2 (sp^3)^2 (sp^3)^1 # <=> #2(sp^3)^1 (sp^3)^2 (sp^3)^2 (sp^3)^2[He]F# => #(sp^3)^1-(sp^3)^1# overlab => #sigma-Bond#
