What is true about concept of hybridisation of atomic orbital?

Options

  1. AAddition of an electron pair
  2. BMixing up of atomic orbitals
  3. CRemoval of an electron pair
  4. DSeparation of orbitals

Correct answer

B. Mixing up of atomic orbitals

Step-by-step solution

Merging (mixing) of dissimilar orbitals of different energies to form new orbitals is known as hybridisation and the new orbital formed are known as hybrid oribitals. They have similar energy.
