Definition: SP hybridization is a fundamental concept in chemistry with enormous implications for nanotechnology and materials science. SP hybridization is a concept from molecular orbital theory ...

Meanwhile, the variation of Pd 1 –support orbital hybridizations further amends the LUMO of anchored Pd 1 atoms to enhance Pd 1 –adsorbate interactions for high activity.

In the molecular orbital theory of valency the electrons are assigned to the whole molecule rather than to atoms or to other localized parts. While the method has advantages in dealing with the ...
