What is sp^(2) hybridization ? Give characteristics of it . |
|
Answer» Solution :Definition : One ns and two np orbitals of an I atom having less difference in energy combine and FORM there EQUIVALENT orbitals having similar shape is CALLED `sp^(2)` hybridization and form orbitals are called `sp^(2)` hybride orbitals. Characteristics: In each `sp^(2)` orbital 33% s-character and 66.6% p-character is observed. All three `sp^(2)` hybrid orbital arrange in such way so that they experience MINIMUM repulsion and remain at `120^(@)` angle and arrange at three corners of symmetric planar trigonal.  `sp^(2)` hybrid orbitals.s in plane arrange `120^(@)` angle at corner as positive lobe & SMALL negative lobe. Sch all formed all three `sigma` bond arrange at `120^(@)` angle in one plane. |
