NEETChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
What are the main conditions that must be met for hybridisation to take place?
Options
- APromotion of electrons and half-filled orbitals.
- BAlmost equal energy of orbitals and promotion of electrons.
- CFilled orbitals and significant energy difference.
- DFilled orbitals and half-filled orbitals.
Correct answer
B. Almost equal energy of orbitals and promotion of electrons.
Step-by-step solution
The main conditions for hybridisation are that the orbitals undergoing hybridisation should have almost equal energy, and promotion of electrons is not an essential condition.
