Which of the following has been arranged in increasingorder of size of the hybrid orbitals?224 sp2 <sp <sp3 |
|
Answer» Size of the hybrid orbitals: Since s-orbitals are closer to the nucleus than p-orbitals, it is reasonable to expect that greater the scharacter of an orbital the smaller it is. Thus the decreasing order of the size of the three hybrid orbitals is opposite to that of the decreasing order of orbital character in the three hybrid orbitals. sp3> sp2> sp option 1. |
