Q: Hybrid orbitals are formed only in which type of bonded atoms?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

The following ideas are important in understanding hybridization: 1. Hybrid orbitals do not exist in isolated atoms. They are formed only in covalently bonded atoms. Hybrid orbitals have shapes and orientations that are very different from those of the atomic orbitals in isolated.

 Choices:

- ionically

- partially

- thermally

- covalently


A:
covalently
