Comprehension

In the localized bond approach, the structures & geometry of the molecules can be obtained by employing either
the “hybridization” or the VSEPR theory. Hybridization is the intermixing process of almost same energy level
orbitals. After hybridization, hybrid orbitals form bonds with other orbitals of surrounded atoms and produced a
geometrical figure of molecule. According to VSEPR theory, the best geometry for a molecule or polyatomic ion
can be predicted.
