Give the main characteristics of hybridization.

(N/A) The main characteristics of hybridization are as follows:
$i$. The number of hybrid orbitals is equal to the number of the atomic orbitals that get hybridized.
$ii$. The hybridized orbitals are always equivalent in energy and shape.
$iii$. The hybrid orbitals are more effective in forming stable bonds than the pure atomic orbitals.
$iv$. These hybrid orbitals are directed in space in some preferred direction to have minimum repulsion between electron pairs and thus a stable arrangement.
Therefore,the type of hybridization indicates the geometry of the molecules.
