Question

Which of the following statements is not a main step in the hybridization event?

A. Introduce a promotion energy to an atom in order to free one (or more) electron(s) from their assigned site(s).

B. Create new hybrid orbitals that have the same overall energy as the original orbitals. Each new hybrid orbital is stable at a new energy level somewhere between the original lowest and highest orbital energy level points.

C. Mix and match the electrons from different orbitals.

D. Take all the original electron pairs and break them into single electron sites.

Please provide explanation for the answer. Thank you.

Explanation / Answer

A:- D => Take all the original electron pairs and break them into single electron sites.

   In hybradization process, two or more than two atomic orbitals (which are having same or nearly same energy) are inter mixing together and to form identical same number of hybrid orbitals. During this process unpairing of original elctron pairs is not takes place. If any electron pair is present in atomic orbitals which are retained in hybrid orbitals.
