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. |
