Question

The hybrid orbital having equal amounts of s and p - characters is:

• A. $sp$
• B. $s{p}^3$
• C. $s{p}^2$
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A $sp$

In sp hybridization, both $s$ and $p$ character is $50$% each as 1 s and 1 p orbitals are involved in hybridization.

Option A is correct.
