After studying all types of hybridizations, we now delve deeper into this theory and learn various cardinal concepts related to it in detail. It is
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
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.
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
Bonding in molecules forms the basis of elucidating their structure, which in turn dictates the properties of substances. In this post, we shall learn about
