Orbital Hybridization Flashcards
What is hybridization
Hybridization can be defined as the phenomenon of mixing atomic orbitals of similar energies to form an equivalent number of entirely new orbitals of identical shape and energy called hybrid orbitals
What are hybrid orbitals?
Hybrid orbitals are orbitals formed from the combination of two or more atomic orbitals with similar energies
