Question

what is hybridization? .....

Answer 1

In chemistry, orbital hybridisation is the concept of mixing atomic orbitals into new hybrid orbitals suitable for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds in valence bond theory.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

In chemistry, orbital hybridisation (or hybridization) is the concept of mixing atomic orbitals into new hybrid orbitals (with different energies, shapes, etc., than the component atomic orbitals) suitable for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds in valence bond theory.sp hybridisation- The intermixing of one s orbital and one p orbital of an atom to produce two new sp hybridised orbitals of equivalent energy is called sp hybridisation. sp3 hybridisation- the intermixing of one s orbital and three p orbitals of an atom to produce four new sp3 hybridised orbitals of equivalent energy is called sp3 hybridisation. sp2 hybridisation- the intermixing of one s orbital and two p orbitals of an atom to produce three new sp2 hybridised orbitals of equivalent energy is called sp2 hybridisation. sp3d hybridisation- this type of hybridistion involves the mixing of one s, three p and one d orbital resulting in the formation of five equivalent sp3d hybrid orbitals. sp3d2 hybridisation- this type of hybridisation involves the intermixing of one s orbital, three p and two d orbitals resulting in the formation of six equivalent sp3d2 hybrid orbitals.
