Question

write some salient features of hybridisation ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Salient features of hybridisation -

1. no. of hybrid orbitals produced is equal to the number of atomic orbitals mixed.

2. hybridisation never take place in isolated atoms but it occur only at the time of bond formation.

3. the hybridised orbitals are always equivalent in energy and shape.

4. the hybrid orbital form more stable bonds than pure atomic orbitals.

Answer 2

Answer:

Salient features of hybridisation :

(1) Atomic orbitals of the same atom can take part in hybridisation

(2) Only atomic orbitals and not electrons undergo hybridisation

(3) The atomic orbitals of comparable energies only can undergo hybridisation.

(4) The number of hybrid orbitals formed is equal to the number of hybridising orbitals.

(5) The shape of the hybrid orbitals is different as compared to the shape of hybridising atomic orbitals.

(6) All the hybrid orbitals are equivalent and have the same shape and energy.

(7) Hybrid orbitals orient in space, so as to minimise repulsion between their electrons and have maximum symmetry. Geometry of the molecule is due to the orientation of hybrid orbitals.

(8) The covalent bonds formed by hybrid orbitals is stronger than those by pure atomic orbitals.
