The Lewis structure of
Concept Introduction:
Lewis Structure:
Lewis structure is also known as Lewis dot structure which represents the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.
Hybridization:
Formation of new molecular orbitals by mixing two or more atomic orbitals on the same central atom is known as hybridization. Formed new molecular orbitals are called as hybrid orbitals.
