Question

what is meant by hybridization of atomic orbitals

Answer 1

In chemistry, orbital hybridisation (orhybridization) is the concept of mixingatomic 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.
