Question
Which of the following statements is not a main step in the hybridization event?
Introduce a promotion energy to an atom in order to free one (or more) electron(s) from their assigned site(s)
Create new hybrid orbitals that have the same overall energy as the original orbitals. Each new hybrid orbital is stable at a new energy level somewhere between the original lowest and highest orbital energy level points
Mix and match the electrons from different orbital
Take all the original electron pairs and break them into single electron site
I may already know the answer. But want to confirm. Please explain your reasoning to your answer. Thanks!
Explanation / Answer
Mix and match the electrons from different orbital
