Hybridization for elements like S, Xe, Br, etc.

[Anisha Chandra 1K]

How does hybridization work for elements where some or all of the valence electrons are paired? Do the paired electrons get promoted to d orbitals?

[MingdaH 3B]

Hybridization works the same for all elements, although some are very difficult to find in a molecular form. Count the number of bonds between atoms, and then it's just the same process

hybridization should be the same for every element.

[Daniel Martinez 1k]

Hybridization works the same for all elements.

[Claire Stoecklein 1E]

Is hybridization just for the central atom? So then is one molecule just one kind of hybridization?
