THE HYBRIDISATION OF ORBITALS

HYBRIDISATION:

it is a phenomenon, mixing up of two or more atomic orbitals of different energies and form an identical hybrid orbital.

SP3 HYBRIDISATION:

the shape of this molecule is tetrahydral shape.

the bond angle is 109.28'

this is formed by the combination of one S and 3P orbitals.

four SP3 hybrid orbitals are formed.

SP2 HYBRIDISATION:

the shape of the molecule is planer triangular.

the bond angle is 120°.

this is formed by the combination of one S and 2P orbitals.

three SP2 hybrid orbitals are formed.

SP HYBRIDISATION:

the shape of the molecule is linear.

the bond angle is 180°.

this is formed by the combination of S and P orbitals.

two SP hybrid orbitals are formed.
