हिन्दीConsider the following statements regarding the features and conditions of hybridisation: (A) The orbitals undergoing hybridisation should have almost equal energy. (B) Promotion of an electron is not an essential condition prior to hybridisation. (C) The hybrid orbitals are less effective in forming stable bonds than pure atomic orbitals. (D) Valence shell orbitals of the central atom participate in hybridisation. Which of the above statements are correct?
Correct answer · Option 3
(A), (B) and (D) only
Explanation
Statements (A), (B), and (D) are correct. Statement (C) is incorrect because hybrid orbitals are MORE effective in forming stable bonds than pure atomic orbitals.
