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

A

25

B

33

C

50

D

75

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In `P_(4)` the P-P linkage is formed by `sp^(3)-sp^(3)` hybridized orbital overlapping.
So the percentage of P- character will be 75%
