I am under the impression that elements from the third period onwards can promote electrons into d orbitals to form hybridised orbitals. Why would an element in the third period promote an electron to the 3d orbital when we learn that 4s orbitals are filled first because they are lower in energy (is it to do with orbital penetration?) Why also can a 2nd period p block element not promote to 3s?
