An `sp^(3)` hybrid orbital possesses

A

(1) two-third `s` character

B

(2) one-fourth `s` character

C

(3) one-third `s` character

D

(4) one-half `s` character

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`sp^(3)` hybridization involves the mixing of one `s AO` and three `p AO's`, thus, an `sp^(3)` hybridized orbital has one-fourth's character.
