Hybridization
- Hybridization is a concept in chemistry where atomic orbitals blend to form new hybrid orbitals with different energy, shape, and directional properties.
Types of Hybridization
- sp Hybridization: 1 s and 1 p orbital combine to form 2 sp hybrid orbitals.
- sp2 Hybridization: 1 s and 2 p orbitals combine to form 3 sp2 hybrid orbitals.
- sp3 Hybridization: 1 s and 3 p orbitals combine to form 4 sp3 hybrid orbitals.
