Question

hi...
what is meant by hybridization........

Answer 1

the redistribution of orbital of almost equal energy in individual atoms to give equal number of new orbitals with identical properties like energy and shape is called hybridization

Answer 2

Explanation:

The main features of hybridization are as under :-

1. The number of hybrid orbitals is equal to the number of atomic orbital that get hybridised .

2. The hybridized orbitals are equivalent in energy and shape.

3. The hybrid orbitals and more effective in forming stable bonds than the pure atomic orbitals .

4. These hybrid orbitals are directed in space in some preferred direction to have minimum repulsion between electron pairs and thus a stable arrangement is obtained. Therefore , the type of hybridization indicates the geometry of the molecules .
