Question

The hybrid orbitals are less effective in forming stable bonds than the pure atomic orbitals.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

The hybrid orbitals generally have one bigger lobe and other one very small lobe, which provides more effective overlapping resulting in the formation of stronger bonds.
That’s why the hybrid orbitals are more effective in forming stable bonds than the pure atomic orbitals.
