MCQ
Which of the following statement is correct?
  • A
    Energy difference should be more between orbitals which undergo hybridization.
  • Number of hybrid orbitals formed should be same as the number of atomic orbitals involved in hybridization.
  • C
    Hybrid orbitals arrange around the center of the atom unsymmetrically.
  • D
    Hybrid orbitals can form π bonds.

Answer

Correct option: B.
Number of hybrid orbitals formed should be same as the number of atomic orbitals involved in hybridization.
Number of hybrid orbitals formed is equal to number of atomic orbitals involved in hybridisation$. \pi$ bonds will be formed always by pure orbitals $(p$ or $d$ orbitals$).$ Hybrid orbitals arrange around the centre of atom gymmetrically depending on number of bond pairs and lone pairs.
