♦ Relevant knowledge
In the process of forming covalent bonds, the orbitals of atoms in an atom mix to create new hybrid orbitals. This process is referred to as hybridization. Hybridized orbitals are less energetic in comparison to anatomic orbitals. They assist in describing the structure of molecules and help to predict the method of bonding.
This problem was solved using a concept that relies on the type of orbitals.
An orbital can be either atomic, molecular or hybrid.
The atomic orbitals refer to the area around an atom’s nucleus where an electron is expected.
The hybrid orbitals are those orbitals that are created by the mixing of atomic orbitals.
The orbitals that have both antibonding and bonding orbitals are called molecular orbitals.
The orbitals are atomic orbitals.
