Question

Hybridisation definition in chemistry authorstream

Answer 1

The process of intermixing of two or more orbitals having similar energies of an atom to give equivalent new hybrid orbitals is known as hybridization.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hybridization happens when atomic orbitals mix to form new atomic orbitals. The new orbitals have the same total electron capacity as the old ones. The properties and energies of the new, hybridized orbitals are an 'average' of the original unhybridized orbitals.
