Question

(a) If you combine two atomic orbitals on two different atoms
to make a new orbital, is this a hybrid orbital or a molecular
orbital?

Accepted Answer

Hi everyone here, We have a question asking us if two atomic orbital, such as S and P from the same atom, are combined together? Will the newly formed orbital be a molecular orbital or a hybrid orbital? Since the two atomic orbital's are from the same atom, the newly formed orbital's will be hybrid orbital's, and that is our final answer. Thank you for watching. Bye.
