Hybridization is a model that attempts to remedy the shortcomings of simple valence bond theory. ... According to valence bond theory, to form a covalent bond, a valence orbital bearing one electron in one atom overlaps with a valence orbital bearing one electron in another atom.
Answer:
The original valence bond theory, as proposed by G.N. Lewis, is inadequate in explaining bonding and structure of many a covalent species. Hybridization is a model that attempts to remedy the shortcomings of simple valence bond theory. Below, the concept of hybridization is described using four simple organic molecules as examples
