what do mean by hybridization?

Answer 1

Hybridization, in terms of Chemistry, involves the sharing, or overlapping, of orbitals. Depending on the energy level where electrons are contained within a molecule, different orbitals will be formed. These orbitals are really just mathematical representations of where electrons may be found. The commonly studied orbitals are s, p, d and f. They are different in shape. Hybridization occurs when electrons of different orbital types overlap, and combine, forming a new orbital. Hybridized orbitals tend to be more stable. You may want to look up Molecular Orbital (MO) diagrams to fully understand how bonding among electrons occurs.

Answer 2

Richierich said it as it is. The newer term for it is GMO. Creating hybrids has been around since the day man began to grow crops and raise animals. A simple way to say it is breeding animals or crops that have some of the traits you want with those that have other traits you want to produce a product that you believe is better suited for what you use it for.

Answer 3

In Chemistry, it is a mathematical mixing of atomic orbitals to form molecular orbitals. It is not real, only a theoretical explanation of bonding.

Answer 4

* In genetics, hybridisation is the process of mixing different species or varieties of organisms.
* In molecular biology hybridisation is the process of joining two complementary strands of DNA.
* In chemistry, hybridisation is the mixing of atomic orbitals to form new orbitals suitable for bonding.

Answer 5

hybridisation means cross breeding two plants having desirable characterstics eg. scientists choose one plant which is disease restistant and the other which give a good yield. they produce a new variety by crossing one with the other and produce a plant which is disease resitant as well as gives a good yield.

Answer 6

Intermixing of orbitals by overlapping of orbitals of nearly same energy level..........

Answer 7

mixing 2 totally different things together.
