Question

Which of the following statements is true about hybridization ?

• A. Hybrid orbitals frequently undergo linear overlaps making sigma bonds.
• B. Hybrid orbitals frequently undergo lateral overlaps maing $\pi$-bonds. In other words, there are several compounds in which $\pi$-bonds are formed using hybrid orbitals.
• C. Hybrid orbitals are molecular orbitals.
• D. A hybrid orbital bigger in size makes shorter bond.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Hybrid orbitals frequently undergo linear overlaps making sigma bonds.

$\left(A\right)$

Linear overlaps of bybridabitak from sigma bonds

$True$

$\left(B\right)$

HyBrid orbitals Do Not Form $\pi$-bonds. $\pi$-bonds are formed by arbybridized orbitals of the molecule by lateral overlap.

Statement is $False$

$\left(C\right)$

Hybrid are not same as molecules orbital hence $False$ statement

While of same atom, molecular orbitals are formed by mixing orbitals of different atoms

$False$

$\left(D\right)$

Only first Statement is $True$
