Why does Valence Bond theory sometimes use hybrid orbital rather than r b atomic orbital basis sets?
The Valence Bond Theory uses hybrid electron orbitals because it has been shown that the s and three p orbitals of an electron shell can occur as 4 orbitals with equal energy, thereby producing a single spectrograph line when split through a prism. The s orbital can remain alone, or hybridize with 1, 2, or all 3 p orbitals, refered to as sp, sp2 and sp3 respectively.

The sp3d2 atomic hybrid orbital set accommodates how many electron PAIRS?
there r 2 electrons in the s orbital, their r 6 electrons in p orbital , their r 10 electron's in the d orbital and 14 electrons in f orbital.
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.
What atomic or hybrid orbitals make up the sigma bond between C2 and H in ethylene CH2CH2?
The sigma bond between C2 and H in ethylene (CH2CH2) is formed by the overlap of the sp2 hybrid orbital on carbon (C2) and the 1s orbital on hydrogen (H). The sp2 hybrid orbital on carbon is formed by the combination of one s orbital and two p orbitals.
Hybrid orbital with least s character is?
The hybrid orbital with the least s character is the sp3 hybrid orbital, which consists of 25% s character and 75% p character. This hybridization occurs when an atom combines one s orbital with three p orbitals to form four equivalent sp3 hybrid orbitals.
Combination of one s orbital with one p orbital?
s orbitals are spherical, so there cannot be any angle 'between' an s orbital and a p orbital. However, each lobe of a p orbital is perpendicular (90 degrees in all directions) to the surface of an s orbital.

How many atomic orbitals must be mixed to make the sp2 hybrid orbital?
five atomic orbitals must be mixed into one ; one s orbital; three p orbital; one d orbital, forming sp3d orbital

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.
Combination of one s orbital with one p orbital?
s orbitals are spherical, so there cannot be any angle 'between' an s orbital and a p orbital. However, each lobe of a p orbital is perpendicular (90 degrees in all directions) to the surface of an s orbital.
Explain what is meant by Sp3 hybridization?
Sp3 hybridization is a type of atomic orbital hybridization in which an s orbital and three p orbitals combine to form four hybrid orbitals with equivalent energy levels. These hybrid orbitals have a tetrahedral arrangement around the central atom and are commonly found in molecules with four sigma bonds.
Outer shell electrons are known as hybrid valence vector or transitional electrons?
Outer shell electrons are called valence electrons. They are involved in chemical reactions and determine the reactivity and bonding behavior of an atom. The concept of hybridization refers to the mixing of atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals, which can help explain the geometry of molecules.
When an s orbital hybridizes with one p orbitalwhat is the angle between the resulting orbitals?
There are only two hybridised orbitals. By the electron pair repulsion theory, the bond angle would be 180o.
What determines the number of hybrid orbitals produced by an atom?
The number of hybrid orbitals produced by an atom is determined by the number of atomic orbitals that are mixed together to form the hybrid orbitals. For example, when an atom undergoes sp3 hybridization, one s orbital and three p orbitals combine to form four sp3 hybrid orbitals. The number and types of hybrid orbitals depend on the atomic orbitals participating in the hybridization process.
