what is hybridization mention types of hybridization
Answers
Hello,
Hybridization is the mixing of two orbitals with the same energy levels to give a new type of orbitals. The intermixing works on quantum mechanics.
there are three types of hybridization :
1. sp hybridization - sp hybridization involves one 's' and one 'p' orbital of equal energy to form a new hybrid orbital.
# the formed Sp orbital is maintained at 180 degree.
# example of sp hybrid orbital: Beryllium chloride
2. sp² hybridization - it involves mixing of one 's' orbital and two 'p' orbitals of equal energy to form a new orbital.
# It is formed in trigonal symmetry with bond angle 120 degree.
# example of Sp² hybrid orbital is: Ethylene
3. sp³ hybridization - it involves mixing of one 's' orbital and three ‘p’ orbitals of equal energy to form a new hybrid.
# it is formed in tetrahedral symmetry with bond angle 109.28 degree.
# example of Sp³ hybridization is: Ethane
Hope it helped
