hybrid orbitals the number of standard atomic orbitals combined = the number of hybrid orbitals formed
{"Image DocumentName": "Hybrid Orbitals The number of standard atomic orbitals combined = the number of hybrid orbitals formed.", "Image ImageDescription": "Combining a 2s with a 2p gives two 2sp hybrid orbitals. H cannot hybridize! Its valence shell only has one orbital. The number and type of standard atomic orbitals combined determines the shape of the hybrid orbitals. The particular kind of hybridization that occurs is the one that yields the lowest overall energy for the molecule.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
