24 “Hybridisation is the intermixing of a set of atomic orbitals of slightly different energies,

forming a new set of the orbitals with equivalent energies and shapes”. Type of hybridisation

involving S- and p- orbitals:

(i) sp hybrid orbita l- 1 s- orbital hybridises with 1 p- orbitals to form 2 sp hybrid

orbitals. Sp hybrid orbital has a linear shape. The formation of sp orbital is:

(ii) sp2 hybrid orbital - here the 1 s- orbital hybridises with 2 p- orbitals in order to

form 3 sp2 hybrid orbitals. The shape of the sp2 orbital is trigonal planar.

(iii) sp3 hybrid orbital - here the 1 s- orbital hybridises with 3 p- orbitals in order to

form 4 sp3 hybrid orbitals. The shape of the sp3 orbital is the tetrahedron.

(a) Is there any change in the B and N atoms hybridisation due to the

following reaction?

BF3 + NH3 —> F3B.NH3

(b) Which hybrid orbitals are used by the carbon atoms in the following molecules?

(i) CH3-CH3 (ii) CH3-CH=CH2 (iii) CH3CH2-OH (iv) CH3-CHO (v) CH3COOH.

25 Explain the formation of the H2 molecule based on the valence bond theory.
