Question

IL
Which are the orbitals whose number is not equal to the number of the atomic
orbitals from which they are formed?
(a) Hybrid orbitals
(b) Molecular orbitals
(c) Bonding orbitals
(d) None of these​

Answer 1

Answer:

hybrid orbitals

Explanation:

Hybrid orbitals are the result of a model which combines atomic orbitals on a single atom in ways that lead to a new set of orbitals that have geometries appropariate to form bonds in the directions predicted by the VSEPR model. The VSEPR model predicts geometries that are very close to those seen in real molecules.
