Key Points: Hybridisation

Hybridisation is the process of mixing orbitals of nearly similar energy from the same atom to form a new set of equivalent orbitals of exactly equal energy called hybrid orbitals.

\[H=\frac{1}{2}[V+Y-C+A]\]

where V = valence electrons of central metal atom, Y = number of monovalent atoms surrounding central atom, C = total positive charge, A = total negative charge on the molecule.

Types of Hybridisation:

Hybridisation Orbitals Mixed Shape Bond Angle Example
sp 1s + 1p Linear 180° BeCl₂, C₂H₂
sp² 1s + 2p Trigonal planar 120° BF₃, BCl₃
sp³ 1s + 3p Tetrahedral 109°28′ CH₄, NH₃, H₂O
sp³d 1s + 3p + 1d Trigonal bipyramidal 90°, 120° PCl₅, SF₄
sp³d² 1s + 3p + 2d Octahedral 90° SF₆, XeF₄
