Answer 1

Answer

The predicted hybrid orbital of a valence electrons 2 will be sp

The predicted hybrid orbital of a valence electrons 3 will be sp²

The predicted hybrid orbital of a valence electrons 4 will be sp³

The predicted hybrid orbital of a valence electrons 5 will be sp³d

The predicted hybrid orbital of a valence electrons 6 will be sp³d²
