Molecules with hybrid orbitals can be of two types – A] Symmetric molecules where all bonds are the same.e.g.- CH4 molecule, where all bonds are C-H

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
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.
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.
