Question

Hybridisation of one 's' and one 'p' orbitals give

(i) four orbitals directed tetrahedrally

(ii) three orbitals in a plane

(iii) two mutually perpendicular orbitals

(iv) two orbitals at 180°

Answer 1

Correct answer is (iv) two orbitals at 180°

Hybridisation of one 's' and one 'p' orbitals give two orbitals at 180°.
