Question

Bond angle between two hybrid orbitals is ${105}^o$. Hybrid character orbital is:

• A. between $30-35$%
• B. between $50-60$%
• C. between $25-30$%
• D. between $22-23$%

Answer 1

The correct option is D between $22-23$%

Bond angle between two hybrid orbitals is ${105}^o$. Hybrid character orbital is between $22-23$%. It will be nearer to $25$%, the angle is ${109}^o{28}^{\prime }$ for ${sp}^3$-hybridization.
