Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The correct hybridization should be explained given the orbital overlapping systems.
Concept Introduction:
Hybridization: When the atomic orbitals mix to form new atomic orbitals, the new orbitals have the same total electron capacity as the old ones. The properties and energies of the new, hybridized orbitals are an 'average' of the original unhybridized orbitals.
sp2 hybridization: This concept has intermixing of one s-orbitals and two p-orbitals to give three identical hybrid orbitals is known as
sp3 hybridization: This concept has intermixing of one s-orbitals and three p-orbitals to give four identical hybrid orbitals is known as
