The bond angle between two hybrid orbitals is `180^(@)` The percentage s-character of hybrid orbital is between .A. `50` and `55%`B. `9` and `12%`C. `22` and `23%`D. `11` and `12%`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
The bond angle `180^(@)` means sp hybridisation which has `50%` s-character
Alternatively refer to Section 2.22 (point3)
`cos0 = ((s%)/(s%-100)) implies cos 180^(@) = ((s%)/(s% -100))`
`implies - 1 = (s%)/(s%-100) implies :. S% = 50` .
