Q: What happens when one s and one p orbital is hybridized?
  • A. We get three orbitals in a plane
  • B. We get two orbitals at 180º
  • C. We get two mutually perpendicular orbitals
  • D. We get four orbitals directed tetrahedrally
Correct Answer: Option B - The s-orbital is spherical, in shape p-orbital is dumbbell shaped four of the five d-orbitals are cloverleaf shaped and f-orbital has complex structure. "On hybridization of one s and one p-orbital, we get sp hybridization in which two orbitals are at 180º."
B. The s-orbital is spherical, in shape p-orbital is dumbbell shaped four of the five d-orbitals are cloverleaf shaped and f-orbital has complex structure. "On hybridization of one s and one p-orbital, we get sp hybridization in which two orbitals are at 180º."
