Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The hybrid-orbital picture for the hydronium ion
Concept introduction:
The atomic orbitals combine to form the new set of orbitals known as hybrid orbitals. The hybrid orbitals are obtained due to the mixing of atomic orbitals with different azimuthal quantum numbers. The hybrid orbitals have the property of directionality that is the electron density in the hybrid orbitals is directional.
