What do you mean by hybridisation? Explain |
|
Answer» Thanks very much ? The process of "intermixing of atomic orbitals of nearly same energies to form a new set of orbitals having equivalent energies" is called hybridization. And orbitals which are formed in hybridization process are called hybrid orbitals.\xa0Conditions for the hybridization:·\xa0Orbitals of same element should take part in the hybridization.·\xa0There should be minimum difference between the orbitals undergoing hybridization.\xa0Characteristics of Hybridization:·\xa0During hybridization the number of hybrid orbitals formed is equal to the number of atomic orbitals involved in hybridization.·\xa0Hybrid orbitals form more stable and stronger bonds than pure atomic orbitals.·\xa0Hybridization does not take place in isolated atoms and possible in those atoms which are prior to participate in chemical bonding.\xa0Types of Hybridization:·\xa0Different types of orbitals intermix with each other to form different types of hybrid orbitals.·\xa0Hybrid orbitals are formed by mixing of s, p and d atomic orbitals. |
