The angle between two sp hybrid orbitals is:
  1. 180

Open in App
Solution

The correct option is A 180
One s and one p orbital combine to form two sp hybrid orbitals. The two hybrid orbitals must be at the maximum distance from each other to avoid repulsions. This is only possible when they are at an angle of 180o from each other.
