Number of hybrid orbitals formed is equal to no. of atomic orbitals involved.

2p x and 2p y - orbitals of carbon can be hybridized to yield two new more stable orbitals

Effective hybridization is not possible with orbitals of widely different energies

The concept of hybridization has a greater significance in the VB theory of localized orbitals than in the MO theory.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:
