Hybridization involves:
Correct answer: B. Mixing of atomic orbitals
- A. Addition of electron pair
- B. Mixing of atomic orbitals
- C. Removal of electrons
- D. Separation of orbitals
Explanation
Hybridization is mixing up of orbitals of nearly same energy giving rise to the formation of entirely new orbitals (hybridized orbitals) equal in number of mixing orbitals and identical in shape and energy.

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
