Explain \'sp\' hybridisation |
| Answer» sp hybridization is observed when one s and one p orbital in the same main shell of an atom mix to form two new equivalent orbitals. The new orbitals formed are called\xa0sp hybridized orbitals.\xa0It forms linear molecules with an angle of 180°\tThis type of hybridization involves the mixing of one ‘s’ orbital and one ‘p’ orbital of equal energy to give a new hybrid orbital known as an sp hybridized orbital.\tsp hybridization is also called diagonal hybridization.\tEach sp hybridized orbital has an equal amount of s and p character, i.e., 50% s and p character.Examples of sp Hybridization:\tAll compounds of beryllium like BeF2, BeH2,\xa0BeCl2\tAll compounds of carbon-containing triple Bond like C2H2.\xa0 | |
