What is the hyberdization ofC6J5CHO?
Explain me how?
Answers
Answer:
Redistribution of the energy of orbitals of individual atoms to give orbitals of equivalent energy happens when two atomic orbitals combine together to form hybrid orbital in a molecule. This process is called hybridization. The new orbitals thus formed are known as hybrid orbitals.

Types of Hybridization
Based on the types of orbitals involved in mixing, the hybridization can be classified as sp3, sp2, sp, sp3d, sp3d2, sp3d3. Let us now discuss the various types of hybridization along with their examples.
Answer:
Hybridization is the process of intermixing of orbitals of slight different energies so as to redistribute there energies so as to form new orbitals of equivalent energy and shape. In sp3 hybridization it involves the mixing of one s orbital and three p orbitals of equal energy to give a new hybrid orbital known as sp3. A mixture of s and p orbitals formed is in tetrahedral symmetry and is maintained at an angl of 109o28".E.g CH4.
