Introduction
• There are various types of hybridisation involving s, p and d orbitals. • Sp hybridization involves the mixing of one s and one p orbital resulting in the formation of two equivalent sp hybrid orbitals. E.g. ethyne. • Sp 2 involves of one s and two p-orbitals in order to form three equivalent sp2 hybridised orbitals. Example ethene. • Has sp3 hybridisation in which there is mixing of one s-orbital and three p-orbitals of the valence shell to form four sp3 hybrid orbital of equivalent energies and shape. E.g. ethane.
