The mixing of two or more atomic orbitals of similar energies on the same atom to produce new orbitals of equal energies is called?
Honey, that's called hybridization. It's like when you mix different types of alcohol to make a fancy cocktail - you get something new and exciting. So, in the world of chemistry, hybridization is the party where atomic orbitals mingle and create some fresh orbitals of equal energy. Cheers to science!
What else can I help you with?
How many molecular orbitals are produced when two atomic orbitals interact?
When two atomic orbitals interact, they produce two molecular orbitals.
A new set of identical orbitals formed by combining the atomic orbitals of an atom involved in covalent bonding?
Molecular orbitals are formed by the overlap of atomic orbitals from different atoms in a covalent bond. These molecular orbitals have distinct shapes and energies compared to the atomic orbitals they are formed from. The number of molecular orbitals formed is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that combine.
In order to produce sp3 hybird orbitals------------- s atomic orbitals (s) and ----P atomic orbital(s) must be mixed?
In order to produce sp3 hybrid orbitals, one s atomic orbital and three p atomic orbitals are mixed. This results in four sp3 hybrid orbitals that are used for bonding in molecules.
A figure indicating the relative sizes and energies of atomic orbitals?
Atomic orbitals are regions in space where electrons are likely to be found. The sizes of atomic orbitals increase as the principal quantum number (n) increases. The energy of atomic orbitals increases with increasing principal quantum number and decreasing distance from the nucleus. The shape of atomic orbitals is determined by the angular momentum quantum number (l).
What is concept of hybridization?
Hybridization is a concept in chemistry where atomic orbitals mix to form new hybrid orbitals. This results in a more suitable arrangement for bonding in molecules, allowing for stronger bonds and specific geometries. Hybridization helps explain the bonding and shape of molecules.

What is hybridisition?
Hybridization is a concept in chemistry where atomic orbitals combine to form new hybrid orbitals with different shapes and energies. These hybrid orbitals are used to describe the bonding in molecules.

How is a molecular orbital formed?
In molecular orbital theory, MO theory, molecular orbitals are "built" from atomic orbitals. A common approach is to take a linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO), specifically symmetry adapted linear combinations (SALC) using group theory. The formation of a bond is essentially down to the overlap of the orbitals, the orbitals being of similar energy and the atomic orbital wave functions having the correct symmetry.
What are the different electronic orbitals?
atomic orbitals and electron orbitals
How does the energy level of a hybrid orbital compare with the energy levels of the orbitals it was formed from?
The energy levels of the hybrid orbitals are "intermediate" between the orbiats it was formed from. ( Essentially we are just mixing wave functions not changing their energy) There is an energy pf promotion - taking for example one of the paired s electrons and promoting (exciting) one to become unpaired
Why non bonding orbitals do not participate in LCAO?
The question does not make sense. LCAO takes a linear combination of atomic orbitals from the atoms, some orbitals are not energetically favourable to produce bonds (*other exclusions are symmetry) and these do not form bonding orbitals.
How many molecular orbitals are present in the system?
The number of molecular orbitals in the system depends on the number of atomic orbitals that are combined. If two atomic orbitals combine, they form two molecular orbitals: a bonding orbital and an antibonding orbital. So, in general, the number of molecular orbitals in a system is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that are combined.
