[Pw_forum] Hybridization

[kazempoor at ph.iut.ac.ir]

Dear All
It is not clear for me if  the orbitals of one atom hybridyze with each other? I mean for example for Mn isolated atoms does the s and  
p and d hybridyze? How does the situation change when go from isolated atom to crystal ?
In general when does the overlap between orbitals  lead to hybridization?
Thanks  a lot
