Is it true that with hybridization several atomic orbitals overlap to form the same total number of equivalent hybrid orbitals?
True.
What determines the number of covalent bonds an atom can form?
The number of unpaired electrons in the outermost shell determines the number os covalent bonds an atom can form.
The number of orbitals in fourth shell will be?
Thus the total number of atomic orbitals in the fourth energy level of an atom is 16.
What is Number of orbitals in helium?

How many orbitals are there for each level and the number of electrons?
1st energy has 1 sublevel -- 1 orbital -- 2 electrons 2nd energy level has 2 sublevels -- 4 orbitals -- 8 e- 3rd energy level has 3 sublevels -- 9 orbitals -- 18 e- 4th energy level has 4 sublevels -- 16 orbitals -- 32 e- Notice the pattern? number of orbitals = energy level squared Number of electrons = 2x number of orbitals

True.
What is the theory of hybridization?
Hybridization comes from very complicated Quantum Mechanics and says that as many molecular orbitals that are being combound, the exact same number of hybrid orbitals are formed. Essentially, spherical s-orbitals and somewhat ellipcitcal p-orbitals are fused to make new orbitals that are identical. Example: 4 equivalent (tetragonal) sp3-orbitals in CH4 molecules.
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.
Are there hybrid sedans to buy?
Hybrid sedans are produced by a number of car companies. A list of comparatives between each available sedan is located at www.hybridcars.com/hybrid-sedan. There you can find a greater number of specializations for better information.
Do quantum numbers define the energy states and the orbitals available to an electron?
Yes, quantum numbers define the energy states and the orbitals available to an electron. The principal quantum number (n) determines the energy level or shell of an electron, the azimuthal quantum number (l) determines the shape or orbital type, the magnetic quantum number (m) determines the orientation of the orbital, and the spin quantum number (+1/2 or -1/2) determines the spin state of the electron. Together, these quantum numbers provide a complete description of the electron's state within an atom.
What meant by hybridization of atomic orbital?
Hybridization of atomic orbitals is the intermixing of atomic orbitals having a approximate energy to form equal number of hybrid orbitals having the same shape, size and energy but pointing in different directions. The new orbitals which are formed are "hybrids" of the originals and have properties that are somewhere in between. For example, a common hybridization is sp3 where three p orbitals combine with an s orbital to form four new orbitals. Other combinations (such as sp and sp2) are also possible.

What is the total number of orbitals in n4 EL if the principal energy level is n4?
The "formula" is n2 - so for principal quantum number 4 there are 16 orbitals, correspnding to one X s orital, three X p orbitals, five X d orbitals, seven X f orbitals.
What is the maximum number of electrons that can exist in 4f orbitals?
The maximum number of electrons that can exist in 4f orbitals is 14.-pg. 110 Modern Chemistry table 2:)
