A `sp^(3)` hybrid orbital contains

A

`1/4` s-character

B

`1/2` s-character

C

`1/3` s-character

D

`2/3` s-character

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In `sp^3` hybrid orbital one part, out of four orbital is s-orbital, so it have 25% or `1/4` s-character.

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.
