What are Features of Hybridization?

Answer

Features of Hybridization - There are features of hybridization: (i) Hybridized orbitals possess lower energy, (ii) Hybrid orbitals form only sigma bonds, (iii) Orbitals involved in p bond formation do not participate in hybridization, (iv) The hybrid orbitals are distributed in space as apart as possible resulting in a definite geometry of molecule, (v) Hybridization never takes place in an isolated atom but it occurs only at the time of bond formation.
