What are hybrid orbitals?
Posted February 22, 2024
Answer
A hybrid orbital is created through the merging of two or more atomic orbitals. The resulting orbital exhibits a distinct shape and energy level compared to the individual component orbitals that contribute to its formation. The shapes generated are well-suited for bond formation in the directions predicted by the VSEPR model.
