hybridisation (or hybridization) is the concept of mixing atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals suitable for the qualitative description of atomic bonding properties. Hybridised orbitals are very useful in the explanation of the shape of molecular orbitals for molecules. It is an integral part of valence bond theory. Although sometimes taught together with the valence shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory, valence bond and hybridization are in fact not related to the VSEPR model.[1]
The hybrids are named based on the atomic orbitals that are involved in the hybridization, and the geometries of the hybrids are also reflective of those of the atomic-orbital contributors. For example, in the methane (CH4) a set of sp3 orbitals are formed by mixing one s and three p orbitals on the carbon atom, and are directed towards the four hydrogen atoms which are located at the vertices of a regular tetrahedron.
this is wht google has to say abt hybridisation
and anglegirl ..... miss shoba once told us abt this.... i remember

aoa wr wb!

hybridisation isn't really there in our syllabus...

hi
when changing nitriles into carboxylic acids it should be hat only not with reflux right?? why in the marckschemes its reflux?

sometimes they mean the same meaning for heat and reflus...so every1 is confused wat to write...:(
