A. Gaining of electrons
B. Hybridization of orbitals
C. Losing electrons
D. Sharing electron
Correct Answer:
Option B – Hybridization of orbitals
Explanation
– An atom may give, take, or share electrons with another atom to achieve a full valence shell, the most stable electron configuration.
– Hybrid orbitals are useful in the explanation of molecular geometry and atomic bonding properties and are symmetrically disposed in space.
