Question

Define Hybridization. Explain types of hybridization

Answer 1

Hello,

Hybridization is the mixing of two orbitals with the same energy levels to give a new type of orbital.

there are three types of hybridization :

1. sp hybridization - it involves one 's' and one 'p' orbital of equal energy to form a new hybrid orbital. The formed Sp orbital is maintained at 180 degrees. e.g Beryllium chloride

2. sp² hybridization - it involves mixing of one 's' orbital and two 'p' orbitals of equal energy to form a new hybrid orbital. It is formed in trigonal symmetry with bond angle 120 degrees. e.g Ethylene

3. sp³ hybridization - it involves mixing of one 's' orbital and three ‘p’ orbitals of equal energy to form a new hybrid orbital which is formed in tetrahedral symmetry with bond angle 109.28 degrees. e.g Ethane

Hope it helps you.

Answer 2

☺️$Hello \: Dear \:$☺️

$Hybridization$

=> It is defined as the mixing of the atomic orbitals to the same atom but having slightly different energy resulting in the formation of new orbital of equal energy and identical shape. The new orbital are known as Hybrid Orbital.

$Types \: of \: Hybridization$

☞ s-p Hybridization or diagonal shape

=> When one s and one p orbital belonging to the same main shell of an atom mixed together to form new two new equivalent orbital. This type of Hybridization is called s-p Hybridization.

Example = BeCl2

$x = \frac{1}{2} (2 + 2)$

$x = 2$

☞ sp2 Hybridization or trigonal shape

=> When one s and two p orbital of the same shell of an atom mixed to form new three equivalent orbital. This type of Hybridization is called sp2 Hybridization.

Example = BF3

$x = \frac{1}{2} (3 + 3)$

$x = 3$

☞ sp3 Hybridization or tetrahedral shape

=> When one s and three p orbital belonging to the same shell of an atom mixed together to form four new equivalent orbital. This type of Hybridization is called sp3 or tetrahedral Hybridization.

Example = SiF4

$x = \frac{1}{2} (4 + 4)$

$x = 4$
