SP Hybridization

Science > Chemistry > Physical Chemistry > Nature of Chemical Bond > sp Hybridization The mixing of one s – orbital and one p – orbital of the same atom of nearly same energy to form a set of diagonally arranged two identical hybrid orbitals of equivalent energy is called sp hybridization. These hybrid orbitals […]

Hybridization of Orbitals

Science > Chemistry > Physical Chemistry > Nature of Chemical Bond > Hybridization of Orbitals In this article, we shall study the concept of hybridization of orbitals. This concept overcomes the limitations of valence bond theory. Need for Hybridization Concept: A simple approach based on the overlap of s and p orbitals can be applied […]
