(a)
Interpretation:
The hybrid orbitals has to be described in the given molecules or ions.
Concept Introduction:
Hybrid orbitals:
Hybrid orbitals are formed from the combination of atomic orbitals of the isolated atom. Hybrid orbitals are used to describe the formation of bonds in the directions predicted by VSEPR model.
(b)
Interpretation:
The hybrid orbitals has to be described in the given molecules or ions.
Concept Introduction:
Valence bond theory: VSEPR theory tells about the shapes of molecules and ions by taking the consideration that the outermost electron pairs are arranged about each atom so that the pairs of electrons are kept at a distance from one molecule to other, thereby minimizing the repulsion of electron-pair.
Hybrid orbitals:
Hybrid orbitals are formed from the combination of atomic orbitals of the isolated atom. Hybrid orbitals are used to describe the formation of bonds in the directions predicted by VSEPR model.
