Hi all,
To my knowledge hybridization of atomc orbitals occurs only between orbitals in the same atom, with similar energies, in order to produce new atomic orbitals, identical with the same energy, to make chemical bonds with other atoms. There are sp, sp2, sp3, etc... possibilities.
My problem is that I often read about hybridization between an atomic orbital from one atom with another orbital from another atom !
