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 :

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. Correct order of P-P bond length in the following compound is :

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. Two elements X and Y combined together to form a covalent compound. If % p-character is found to be 80% in a orbital then the hybridised state of central atom X for the orbital is :
