1.8: Hybridization - Chemistry LibreTexts
Hybridization was introduced to explain molecular structure when the valence bond theory failed to correctly predict them. It is experimentally observed that bond angles in organic compounds are close to 109 o, 120 o, or 180 o.

Hybridization - GeeksforGeeks
When two atomic orbitals combine to form a hybrid orbital in a molecule, the energy of the orbitals of individual atoms is redistributed to give orbitals of equivalent energy. This is known as hybridization.

Orbital hybridisation - Wikipedia
In chemistry, orbital hybridisation (or hybridization) is the concept of mixing atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals (with different energies, shapes, etc., than the component atomic orbitals) suitable for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds in valence bond theory.

Hybridization: Definition, types and examples - Chemistry Notes
Hybridization is the process of combining pure atomic orbitals on an atom of approximately equal energy to form a new set of orbitals with the same number as the mixing orbitals, the same energy, and the same shape.

Hybridization and Hybrid Orbitals - ChemTalk
Simply put, hybridization is the way that distinct atomic orbitals combine together to form identical hybrid orbitals which can participate in bonding much more favorably than unhybridized ones.

How To Determine Hybridization: A Shortcut – Master Organic Chemistry
So how do you quickly determine the hybridization of an atom? Here's a shortcut that works in 95% of cases (we also cover the exceptions, and show examples)

Hybridization: Definition, Types, Rules, Examples - Read Chemistry
Hybridization is defined as the phenomenon of mixing up (or merging) of orbitals of an atom of nearly equal energy, giving rise to entirely new orbitals equal in number to the mixing orbitals and having the same energy contents and identical shapes.

Lesson Explainer: Hybridization - Nagwa
In this explainer, we will learn how to explain and identify hybridization of atomic orbitals. The atomic orbitals of atoms can merge together and form hybrid orbitals that have altogether different shapes and structures from ordinary atomic orbitals.

Hybridization in Chemistry: Definition, Types & Examples - Vedantu
Hybridization in chemistry is the process by which atomic orbitals of similar energies mix and form new, equivalent hybrid orbitals. This concept appears in chapters related to chemical bonding, molecule geometry, and valence bond theory, making it a foundational part of your chemistry syllabus.

Hybridization: Need of Hybridization, Detailed Concept and Types of ...
Hybridization is a process in which atomic orbitals combine to create a set of new hybrid orbitals. This involves the blending or mixing of individual atomic orbitals, resulting in a combination with characteristics distinct from the original orbitals.
