Actually, if you read

Actually, if you read scottyiu's post you will see that he thought feline's comments directed him to further material; this act was far more helpful than giving a canned reply that could be regurgitated without understanding. That would be what a real loser would do.

well......... it is a complicated topic,
but you probably don't need to go into it in huuuuge detail to still get some useful ideas out of it.

Basically, "hybridisation" is a concept used when describing how atoms bond together to form molecules - it is a way of describing how to "atomic orbitals" on the individual atoms combine to form the "molecular orbitals" that exist in the molecule.

It arises because we know that molecules have particular definate geometrical shapes (...how do we know this...?),
and we need to be able to explain how the orbitals/bonds form to build these shapes.

This will get u started.....
It's more something that you could read about in a couple of pages of a textbook though,
than have explained in a message board post.

Thanks, I found a few pages of information on the internet. Although i don't understand Hybridization totally, i know a lot more about it now.

Thank You.
