MCQ
Hybridisation involves
  • A
    Addition of an electron pair
  • Mixing up of atomic orbitals
  • C
    Removal of an electron pair
  • D
    Separation of orbitals

Answer

Correct option: B.
Mixing up of atomic orbitals
(b) 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.
