Order of the bond strength of C - H bond...

Order of the bond strength of C - H bonds involving `sp, sp^(2) and sp^(3)` hybridized carbon atoms is :

A

`sp gt sp^(2) gt sp^(3)`

B

`sp^(3) gt sp^(2) gt sp`

C

`sp^(2) gt sp^(3) gt sp`

D

`sp^(2) gt sp gt sp^(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
EN value `sp gt sp^(2) gt sp^(3)` (more the electronegativity more will be the bond strength)

What is the percentage of s- character in sp, sp^2 and sp^3 hybrid orbitals?

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.
