Which statement best describes the concept of hybridization in organic chemistry?
A
Hybridization refers to the rearrangement of electrons within an atom.
B
Hybridization is the process of breaking chemical bonds to form new compounds.
C
Hybridization involves the mixing of atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals.
D
Hybridization is the conversion of a molecule from one isomer to another.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that hybridization is a concept used to explain the shape and bonding properties of molecules in organic chemistry.
Recognize that hybridization involves the mixing of atomic orbitals, such as s and p orbitals, to form new hybrid orbitals that can form sigma bonds.
Identify that hybrid orbitals are used to explain the geometry of molecules, such as sp3 hybridization leading to a tetrahedral shape.
Note that hybridization does not involve the rearrangement of electrons within an atom or the breaking of chemical bonds.
Clarify that hybridization is not related to the conversion of a molecule from one isomer to another, which is a different concept in organic chemistry.
