Re: Why does hybridization occur
Atoms in a molecule hybridize because hybridized orbitals results in lower energy orbitals and they form a more stable compound.

Re: Why does hybridization occur
Hybridization occurs when an atom creates a bond using electrons from both the s and p orbitals. As a result, there is an imbalance in the energy levels, so to equalize it, the s and p orbitals are combined to create hybrid orbitals.
