The bond angle between two hybrid orbitals is `180^(@)` The percentage s-character of hybrid orbital is between .

A

`50` and `55%`

B

`9` and `12%`

C

`22` and `23%`

D

`11` and `12%`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The bond angle `180^(@)` means sp hybridisation which has `50%` s-character
Alternatively refer to Section 2.22 (point3)
`cos0 = ((s%)/(s%-100)) implies cos 180^(@) = ((s%)/(s% -100))`
`implies - 1 = (s%)/(s%-100) implies :. S% = 50` .

Bond angle between two hybrid orbitals is 105^@ Percentage of s-orbital character of hybrid orbital is between

Bond angle between two hybrid orbitals is 106^@ Hybride charcter in orbital is :

Angle between two hybridised orbital is 105^(@) and hence the percentage of s-character in the hybridised orbital would be in the range .

According to hybridisation theory, the % s-character in sp, sp^(2) and sp^(3) hybrid orbitals is 50, 33.3 and 25 respectively, but this is not true for all the species. When theta is the bond angle between equivalent hybrid orbitals then % s and p-character in hybrid orbitals (when only s and p-orbitals are involved in hybridisation) can be calculated by the following formula : costheta=(S)/(S-1)=(P-1)/(P) Q. Smallest Ohat(S)O bond angle is found in :
