Question

Explain how hybridization affects the concept of bond length and bond energy taking suitable examples

Answer 1

Explanation:

1.15 Effect of Hybridization on Bond Length and Bond Strength. ... Orbital hybridization strongly affects physical properties such as bond lengths and bond energies. The length of a σ bond between carbon and another atom is shorter for a carbon atom with sp2 hybrid orbitals than for a carbon atom with sp3 hybrid orbitals..
