About this document
Valence Bond Theory and Hybridization by Jitendra Kumar is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses valence bond theory and hybridization in chemistry. It explains that valence bond theory describes how covalent bonds form via the overlapping of atomic orbitals. It then defines hybridization as the mixing of atomic orbitals on the same atom to form new hybrid orbitals. The document outlines the main types of hybridization including sp, sp2, sp3, sp3d, sp3d2 and sp3d3 hybridization and describes the number and orientation of the hybrid orbitals formed in each case.
