Question

define hybridization. using the concept of hybridization explain the shape of CH4 and pcl5 molecules​

Answer 1

$\huge{Answer:}$

Hybridization occurs when an atom bonds using electrons from both the s and p orbitals, creating an imbalance in the energy levels of the electrons. To equalize these energy levels, the s and p orbitals involved are combined to create hybrid orbitals.
