Question

Define hybridisation.give example

Answer 1

The alteration of the structure of the atomic orbitals is called hydridisation, as it involves combining a number of orbitals to create an equal number of new orbitals.
 example of hybridization ;  In the excited state, the beryllium atom undergoes 'sp' hybridization by mixing a 2s and one 2p orbitals.

Answer 2

The process of intermixing of orbitals of salienty diffrent energies and shapes combine to give new set of equivalent orbitals of same energy and shape
