Which two types of orbitals combine during orbital hybridization?

This is an odd question. Hybridisation is a "trick" used in valence bond theory to form orbitals that have the correct geometry and optimise orbital overlap. In principle you can mathematically hybridise orbitals of suitable symmetry. Typically in valence bond theory you see s and p orbitals hybridised to sp, sp2 and sp3 hybrids and , s, p and d orbitals forming sp3d and sp3d2


What types of atomic orbital are in the third principal energy level?

The principal energy level is three, so there are three sublevels: 3s, 3p, and 3d. S,P and D


How many different types of orbitals aré there?

What is the valance bond theory?

Valence Bond Theory: • A discussion of valence bond theory is based on the knowledge of atomic orbitals, electronic configuration of elements, overlap criteria of atomic orbitals and principles of variation and superposition. • Orbital Overlap Concept of Covalent Bond: When two atoms approach each other, partial merger of two bonding orbitals, known as overlapping of the orbitals occurs. • Depending upon the type of overlapping, the covalent bonds may be divided as sigma (H) bond and Pi ( p ) bond. • Sigma (H) bond: This type of covalent bond is formed by the end to end (hand on) overlapping of bonding orbitals along the inter-nuclear axis. The overlap is known as head on overlap or axial overlap. The sigma bond is formed by any one of the following types of combinations of atomic orbitals. Sigma (H) bond can be formed by - s overlapping, s - p overlapping, p - p Overlapping etc. • Pi ( p ) Bond: This type of covalent bond is formed by the sidewise overlap of the half- filled atomic orbitals of bonding atoms. Such an overlap is known as sidewise or lateral overlap. 42. Hybridization: • In order to explain characteristic geometrical shapes of polyatomic molecules concept of hybridization is used. • The process of intermixing of the orbitals of slightly different energies so as to redistribute their energies resulting in the formation of new set of orbitals of equivalent energies and shape. 43. Atomic orbitals used in different types of hybridization. Shapes of molecules/ions


How many types of d orbitals are there?

There are five d orbitals, known as dz2, dxy, dxz, dyz , and dx2-y2. The special properties of transition metals are because of the d-orbitals.
