What is sp hybridization ? Give characteristics of it.

Answer»

Solution :Deinition: Atomic orbitals having less difference in energy of same atom ns & np overlap & form two equal orbitals is called SP-hybridization.
Characteristics :
In each sp-orbital 50% s character and 50%p-character is observed.
Both equivalent sp orbitals ARRANGE on Z axis at `180^(@)` in opposite direction to each other.
The two sp hybrids point in the opposite direction along the Z-axis with PROJECTING POSITIVE lobes and very small negative lobes. Which provides more effective overlapping RESULTING in the formation of stronger bonds.
Such a molecule in which the central atom is sp hybridised and linked directly to two other central atoms possesses lineargeogmetry.
