Study Notes
Hybridization
- The concept of hybridization is introduced to explain the equivalent character of bonds formed by overlapping.
- The number of hybridized orbitals is equal to the number of pure atomic orbitals that are mixed.
- Hybrid orbitals have lower energy and a more symmetrical shape than pure atomic orbitals.
- The preferred directions of hybrid orbitals in space allow for the formation of stronger bonds by maximizing overlap with other orbitals.
- Hybrid orbitals form a more stable bond than the pure atom orbital because they have a more suitable shape and orientation for bonding.
