1.	what is the main difference between sp^3 and sp hybridisation state??
Answer» sp Hybridizationsp 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 a 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.sp3\xa0HybridizationWhen one ‘s’ orbital and 3 ‘p’ orbitals belonging to the same shell of an atom mix together to form four new equivalent orbital, the type of hybridization is called a\xa0tetrahedral hybridization or sp3. The new orbitals formed are called\xa0sp3\xa0hybrid orbitals.\tThese are directed towards the four corners of a regular\xa0tetrahedron\xa0and make an angle of 109°28’ with one another.\t\xa0The angle between the sp3 hybrid orbitals is 109.280\tEach sp3\xa0hybrid orbital has 25% s character and 75% p character.\tExample of sp3\xa0hybridization:\xa0ethane\xa0(C2H6), methane.<br>In sp³ hybridization 4 orbital required,should have 4 valence electrons in total <hr>in sp (sp¹) hybridization, 2 orbital requiredhave 2 valence electrons
