Question

Which hybridization has the maximum bond angle?

Answer 1

Hybridization

• Atomic orbitals with comparable energy levels can overlap during the process of hybridization to create a new hybridized orbital.
• Bonds between the atoms are created by this mixing and the creation of new orbitals.

Hybridization of maximum bond angle

• In order to create a new hybrid orbital known as an $sp$ hybridized orbital, one $s$ orbital and one $p$ orbital of similar energy are mixed together.
• The shape corresponding to $sp$ hybridization is linear and bond angle is ${180}^{°}$ which is maximum.
