The percentage of s- character in the hybrid orbitals `sp, sp^(2)" and "sp^3` follows the pattern

A

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

B

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

C

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

D

`sp= sp^(2)= sp^(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The percentage of s character is maximum in triple bonded C atoms in comparison to double and single bonded C atoms.
`{:(HC equivCH gt H_(2)C =CH_(2) gt H_(3)C-CH_(3)),(" "sp " "gt " "sp^(2)" " gt sp^(3)):}`
