ReasonsforHybridization (1) better bonding overlap (radial) reduced antibonding overlap (angular)

HybridizationDefects (1) Mulliken gross populations for valence AOs in XHn hydrides without free electron pairs W. Kutzelnigg Angew. Chem.1984, 96, 262.
HybridizationDefects (2) cos(180-) = a2/(1-a2) (a2 = s-character, 1-a2 = p-character) Holdsonlyfor orthogonal hybrids! *A posteriori hybridizationanalysesfromDFT calculations (BP86/TZVP)
Explanationsofthe Inert-Pair Effect 1) Promotion energies increase down the group 2) Drago: Binding energies decrease down the group promotion energies are not overcompensated anymore 3) Extension following Kutzelnigg: Promotion does not take place anymore no good hybrids and weakened covalent bonds in higher oxidation state

HybridizationDefects (3) h(E): NPA/NLMO Hybridization results from DFT calculations (BP86)
Bent‘sRule: Basic Principles e.g.: larger angles between more electropositive substituents more s-character of central atom is directed towards less electronegative substituent, more p-character to more electronegative substituent H. A. Bent Chem. Rev.1961, 61, 275; H. C. Allen at al. J. Am. Chem. Soc.1958, 80, 2673. exceptions: a) large steric effects, b) very different sizes of substituent orbitals (e.g. H vs. Hg), c) counteracting effects for very light central atoms d) transition metal systems (cf. also Huheey text book)
