1.8: Hybridization - Chemistry LibreTexts
Hybridization was introduced to explain molecular structure when the valence bond theory failed to correctly predict them. It is experimentally observed that bond angles in organic compounds are close to 109 o, 120 o, or 180 o.

Hybridization - sp, sp2, sp3, sp3d, sp3d2 Hybridized Orbitals, Examples
What is Hybridization? Understand the types of hybridization, formation of new hybrid orbitals by the mixing atomic orbitals, sp, sp2, sp3, sp3d, sp3d2 Hybridization and more.

Orbital hybridisation - Wikipedia
In chemistry, orbital hybridisation (or hybridization) is the concept of mixing atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals (with different energies, shapes, etc., than the component atomic orbitals) suitable for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds in valence bond theory.

Hybridization - Definition, Types, Rules, Examples - GeeksforGeeks
Hybridization is the concept of mixing or combining of two atomic orbitals to create a new type of hybridized orbitals. Hybridization can be classified as sp3, sp2, sp, sp3d, sp3d2, or sp3d3 based on the types of orbitals involved in mixing.

Hybridization: Definition, types and examples - Chemistry Notes
Hybridization is the process of combining pure atomic orbitals on an atom of approximately equal energy to form a new set of orbitals with the same number as the mixing orbitals, the same energy, and the same shape.

How To Determine Hybridization: A Shortcut - Master Organic Chemistry
Here’s a shortcut for how to determine the hybridization of an atom in a molecule that will work in at least 95% of the cases you see in Org 1. For a given atom: Count the number of atoms connected to it (atoms – not bonds!) Count the number of lone pairs attached to it. Add these two numbers together. If it’s 4, your atom is sp3.

Hybridization and Hybrid Orbitals - ChemTalk
What is hybridization? Simply put, hybridization is the way that distinct atomic orbitals combine together to form identical hybrid orbitals which can participate in bonding much more favorably than unhybridized ones. As you know, every atom has electron orbitals surrounding it.

11.3: Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals - Chemistry LibreTexts
The localized valence bonding theory uses a process called hybridization, in which atomic orbitals that are similar in energy, but not equivalent are combined mathematically to produce sets of …

Hybridization: Definition, Types, Rules, Examples - Read Chemistry
Definition of Hybridization. Hybridization is defined as the phenomenon of mixing up (or merging) of orbitals of an atom of nearly equal energy, giving rise to entirely new orbitals equal in number to the mixing orbitals and having the same energy contents and identical shapes. Rules of Hybridization

Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals - Chemistry Steps
Hybridization is a theory that is used to explain certain molecular geometries that would have not been possible otherwise. Now, let’s see how that happens by looking at methane, CH 4 as an example. In the first step, one electron jumps from the 2s to the 2p orbital. This leads to the excited state of the carbon:
