Valence bond theory predicts that bromine will use sp3d 2 hybrid orbitals in brf5.
Local valence bond theory uses a process called hybrids. This process mathematically combines atomic orbitals of similar energy but not equivalent to produce a set of equivalent orbitals that are properly aligned to form a bond.
The covalent bond theory describes a covalent bond as an overlap of half-filled atomic orbitals (each containing a single electron), resulting in a pair of electrons shared by two bonded atoms.
