definition of
sp hybridization
sp2 hybridization
sp3 hybridization
sp3d hybridization
sp3d2 hybridization

Answer 1

sp hybridisation- The intermixing of one s orbital and one p orbital of an atom to produce two new sp hybridised orbitals of equivalent energy is called sp hybridisation. sp3 hybridisation- the intermixing of one s orbital and three p orbitals of an atom to produce four new sp3 hybridised orbitals of equivalent energy is called sp3 hybridisation. sp2 hybridisation- the intermixing of one s orbital and two p orbitals of an atom to produce three new sp2 hybridised orbitals of equivalent energy is called sp2 hybridisation. sp3d hybridisation- this type of hybridistion involves the mixing of one s, three p and one d orbital resulting in the formation of five equivalent sp3d hybrid orbitals. sp3d2 hybridisation- this type of hybridisation involves the intermixing of one s orbital, three p and two d orbitals resulting in the formation of six equivalent sp3d2 hybrid orbitals.
