Complex: MO & hybridization

(1/1)

Winga:
When using MO theory to explain the bonding properties of a complex, on metal side, should we use atomic orbitals or hybridized atomic orbitals?

Which one is better?

Mitch:
One is an underestimate of the energy, the other is an overestimate. Ask a professor which one they prefer.
