Question

The angle between the ovarlapping of one s-orbital and one p-orbital at the internuclear axis is:

• A. ${120}^{\circ }$
• B. ${120}^{\circ }{28}^{{}^{\prime }}$
• C. ${180}^{\circ }$
• D. ${109}^{\circ }{28}^{{}^{\prime }}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C ${180}^{\circ }$

The ovarlap between s and p-orbitals occurs along the inter-nuclear axis and hence the angle is ${180}^{\circ }$.
