Question

what is hybridization ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

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.

Answer 2

Hybridisation is a mixing of orbitals in different axes.
