Question

Which of the following is true about hybridisation?

• A. Orbitals undergoes hybridisation should have similar energy
• B. Number of hybridised orbital formed is equal to the number of atomic orbitals undergoing hybridisation
• C. Hybridised orbitals always form sigma bonds
• D. All the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All the above

Atomic orbitals undergoes hybridisation when the energy of the obitals are same or similar.

Total number of hybrid orbital form is always equal to the total number of atomic orbitals undergoing hybridisation.

Hybrid orbitals always forms sigma bonds as having same energy and shape extent of overlapping becomes more.

Thus all of the options are correct.
