How much s and p characters are present in `sp^3` hybrid orbitals?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the s and p character in sp³ hybrid orbitals, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Hybridization**: - The hybridization in question is sp³. This means that one s orbital and three p orbitals are mixed to form four equivalent hybrid orbitals. 2. **Count the Total Number of Orbitals**: ...
