Interpretation:
The four different concepts are given in the
Concept Introduction:
Valance bond (VBT) theory:
Hybridization: When the atomic orbitals mix to form new atomic orbitals, the new orbitals have the same total electron capacity as the old ones. The properties and energies of the new, hybridized orbitals are an 'average' of the original unhybridized orbitals.
Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory: It is a model used in chemistry to predict the geometry of individual molecules from the number of electron pairs surrounding their central atoms.
