Question

what does hybridization of a compound mean?

Answer 1

Hybridization happens when atomic orbitals mix to form new atomic orbitals. ... sp3 hybrid orbitals have a tetrahedral shape - each orbital makes an angle of 109.5° with the others. ... The shape of molecules like methane, CH4, with bond angles of 109.5

I hope its help u so plz mark as brainliest

Answer 2

Hybridization happens when atomic orbitals mix to form a new atomic orbital. The new orbital can hold the same total number of electrons as the old ones. The properties and energy of the new, hybridized orbital are an 'average' of the original unhybridized orbitals.

The concept of hybridization was introduced because it was the best explanation for the fact that all the C - H bonds in molecules like methane are identical.
