The percentage of p-character in the orbitals forming `p-p` bonds in `P_4` is

A

`75`

B

`50`

C

`25`

D

`33`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`P_4` molecule has tetrahedral geometry which can be correlated with `sp^3` hybridization. Thus, the percent of p-character is `(3//4)xx100%=75%`.
