sp3d3 hybridization The process of mixing one s- orbital, three p- orbitals, and three d-orbitals in an atom to form seven sp3 d3 hybrid orbitals of equivalent energy
sp3d3 hybridization The process of mixing one s- orbital, three p- orbitals, and three d-orbitals in an atom to form seven sp3 d3 hybrid orbitals of equivalent energy
sp3d2 hybridization. The process of mixing of one s- orbital ,three p- orbitals and two d-orbital in an atom to form six sp3 d2 hybrid orbitals of equivalent energy is called sp3 d2 hybridization. EXAMPLE – SULPHUR HEXACHLORIDE (SF6) In the last post we studied the hybridization in SF4 molecule. The central sulphur atom was sp3d hybridized. It had a lone pair of electrons. […]
In the last few posts, we studied about the most common types of hybridization namely -sp3, sp2, and sp hybridization. These are exhibited predominantly by
sp hybridization. The process of mixing one s- orbital with one p- orbital in an atom to form two sp hybrid orbitals of equivalent energy is called sp hybridization. EXAMPLE
sp2 hybridization. The process of mixing one s- orbital with two p- orbitals in an atom to form three sp2 hybrid orbitals of equivalent energy is called sp2 hybridization.
sp3 hybridization The process of mixing of one s- orbital with three p- orbitals in an atom to form four sp3 hybrid orbitals of equivalent energy is
CONCEPT OF HYBRIDIZATION As we studied in the last post, Linus Pauling introduced an imaginary concept of ‘hybridization of atomic orbitals to explain the valency and
From this post onwards, we start studying one of the most seminal theories in chemistry- THE HYBRIDIZATION THEORY. This theory was a giant leap forward.
Lone pairs – AXIAL OR EQUATORIAL POSITION? In the structures mentioned in the previous post, we have two positions, namely – axial and equatorial. Equatorial
In the VSEPR model, the valence shell is considered a sphere. The electron pairs are considered to be on this spherical surface, as far away
In the last two posts, we discussed the valence bond theory (VBT) at length. The VBT theory is not foolproof and we shall discuss its
The Valence bond theory (VBT) is one of the theories which explains the formation of the covalent bond. It is based on the assumption that
