Hybridization involving s, p and d-Orbitals

The process of mixing of the atomic orbitals is called hybridization. There are different types of hybridization like sp2, sp3, sp, sp3d, sp3d2, sp3d, dsp2,d2sp3. The atoms of third period elements have vacant d orbitals. Since, the energy of 3d orbitals is comparable to the energy of the occupied 3s and 3p orbitals (the energy … Read more

Aims and application of Biotechnology

Biotechnology is the controlled use of biological agents such as microorganism or cellular components for beneficial use. It is comparatively a new discipline of science in which the latest technology has been applied to biological organisms for human welfare. The recent progress in biotechnology is due to understanding and application of principles of molecular biology, … Read more
