Which of the following statement is true regarding hybrid orbitals?(a) The amount of orbitals formed after the hybridization is not equal to the number of orbitals before hybridization(b) The hybrid orbitals don’t have equal energy(c) They can form more stable bonds than the pure orbitals(d) Hybridization doesn’t indicate geometryThis question was posed to me in an international level competition.This key question is from Molecular Structure in portion Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (c) They can form more stable bonds than the pure orbitals

The explanation is: The true statements of the INCORRECT ONES are the number of orbitals FORMED after the hybridization is equal to the number of orbitals before hybridization, the hybrid orbitals have equal energy and the hybridization indicates geometry.
