Question

Hybridization happens when atomic orbitals mix to form new atomic orbitals............. then why the atomic orbitals are mixed ???

Answer 1

In chemistry, orbital hybridisation (or hybridization) is the concept of mixing atomic orbitals into new hybridorbitals (with different energies, shapes, etc., than the componentatomic orbitals) suitable for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds in valence bond theory
