Question

what are important condition for hybridisation

Answer 1

These are some important conditions for hybridisation .

¤ Only those orbitals which have approx. equal energies and belong to same atom or ion can under go hybridisation .

¤ Only the orbitals present in the valence shell of the atom are hybridised .

¤ Promotion of electron is not an essential condition prior to hybridisation .

¤ Its not neccessary wether half filled or fully filled orbital can participate in hybridisation .

¤ There are one large lobe and one small lobe representing overlapping and non - overlapping regions.

Answer 2

Answer:

Conditions for effective linear combination of atomic orbitals:

• The combining atomic orbitals should have same or nearly same energy
• The atomic orbitals should have the same symmetry about the molecular axis
• Only the orbitals present in the valence shell can undergo hybridization.
