1.

The orbitals that are resulted from sp hybridization have _______% s-character and ________% p-character.(a) 25, 75(b) 75, 25(c) 20, 80(d) 50, 50I have been asked this question in quiz.Asked question is from Molecular Structure topic in chapter Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

Right option is (d) 50, 50

To ELABORATE: When one s-orbital and p-orbital UNDERGO hybridization, 2 sp orbitals are formed. One sp-orbital has 50% s-character and 50% p-character. They possess LINEAR GEOMETRY and it’s also CALLED diagonal hybridization.
