Question

Hybridized orbitals are a useful tool in simple structural chemistry. Which statement is true regarding hybridized orbitals?

a. The ideal proportion of s and p-character in hybridized orbitals is quite sensitive to the atoms being bound.

b. Hybridized molecular orbitals tend to be delocalized across entire molecules.

c. Bent's Rule tells us that -hybrid bonds to electronegative atoms will have a large s-orbital character.

d. Hybridized orbitals do not form an orthogonal basis set for molecular orbitals.
