Hybridization Linear combination of atomic orbitals within an atom leading to more effective bonding 2s 2pz 2px 2py 2px 2py α 2s-β 2pz α 2s+β 2pz The coefficients α and β depend on field strength
Hybridization is close to VBT approach. Use of experimental information All hybridized orbitals are equivalent and are ortho-normal to each other
SLIDE 6 Contribution from s=0.5; contribution from p=0.5 Have to normalize each hybridized orbital 2 equivalent hybrid orbitals
shape (directions different)
Linear geometry with Hybridized atom at the center s and p orbital of the Same atom! Not same as S (overlap)
