Hybridization involving s, p and d-Orbitals

by

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
