The mixing of two or more atomic orbitals of similar energies on the same atom to produce new orbitals of equal energies is called?
hybridization
Explain the hybridization of the bonding orbitals of carbon in formaldehyde?
The hybridization of the bonding orbitals of carbon in carbon tetrachloride are sp3 hybridized. The hybridization occurs between the s orbital of the hydrogen atom and the px, py, pz orbitals of the carbon atom, hence it is sp3 hybridized.
What is the hybridization of the F atom in AsF5?
sp3d. The ion is see-saw shaped (VSEPR thepry- AX4E geometry)
How many unhybridized p atomic orbitals are present when a central atom exhibits tetrahedral geometry?
0! forms 4 sigma bonds
What is the hybridization of the central atom of sulfur tetrafluoride?
sp3d is a typical answer - bit this assumes that d orbitals are sigificant in the bonding- you may be being taught differently.
What is the hybridization of the orbitals around the n atom in HNO2?

What is sp2 hybridisation?
Hybridization in brief can be said as inter mixing of orbitals. But you may have questions such as why? where ? when it happens and what exactly it is? Its very simple for example as in your question consider methane. The carbon atom has 2 electrons in 1s orbital and; 2 electrons in 2s orbital and; 1 electron in 2px orbital and; 1 electron in 2py orbital.In methane before carbon atom undergo bonding with hydrogen it undergoes hybridization ,that is 2s orbitals and 2p orbitals combines or hybridizes and for methane it is sp3 hybridization that means an s orbital had combined with 3 of the 2p orbitals (2px,2py,2pz). It has an tetrahedral arrangement (like four corners of a triangular pyramid) of four lobes of angles approx 109.5 degrees(The angle between H-C-H). After hybridization you cannot differentiate s orbital and p orbital.And in that sp3 hybrid each lobe has one electron and all the lobes bond with hydrogen atoms containing single electron.Note that all the lobes must be treated as an orbital such that they can maximum hold only of two electrons.Thus methane is formed as an result of head on collision of sp3 hybrids and hydrogen atoms.

sp3d is a typical answer - bit this assumes that d orbitals are sigificant in the bonding- you may be being taught differently.
What is the reason for the formation of hybridized orbitals in the bonging of carbon atoms as they form organic molecules?
The basic reason of atomic orbitals hybridization is the repulsive force among the electrons pairs around the central atom of a molecule.
What is the hybridization of the central atom in SO2?
Sp2,120 is the hybridization of the central atom in SO2.
How do you do hybridization of BF4?
The central B atom min BF4- is sp3 hybridised- BF4-is tetrahedral - B has s and p orbitals available for bonding.
What type hybridization occurs in the orbital of a carbon atom particle in a triple bond whit another carbon atom?
Those atoms undergo sp hybridization.
What is hybridization in sp orbitals?
Hybrid orbitals are orbitals of equal energy produced by the combination of two or more orbitals on the same atom. The number of hybrid orbitals produced equals the number of orbitals that have combined.
