MCQ
Which of the following statements is not correct?
  • Hybridization is the mixing of atomic orbitals of large energy difference.
  • B
    $sp^2-$hybrid orbitals are formed from two $p -$ atomic orbitals and ones $-$ atomic orbitals.
  • C
    $\ce{dsp^2-}$hybtrid orbitals are all at $90$ to one another.
  • D
    $\ce{d^2sp^3-}$hybrid orbitals are directed towards the corners of a regular octahedron.

Answer

Correct option: A.
Hybridization is the mixing of atomic orbitals of large energy difference.
Hybridisation is the concept of mixing atomic orbitals into new hybrid orbitals $($with different energies, shapes, etc., than the component atomic orbitals$)$ suitable for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds.
