the angle is 120 degrees.
There are three types of sp hybrid orbitals: sp...180 degrees sp2...120 degrees sp3...109 degrees
Sp2 orbitals are used in the expansion of the molecules shape. The difference in distance between the Sp2 orbital in an SP hybridization is 120 degrees.
Each carbon atom in benzene has 3 sp2 hybridized orbitals. Benzene has 6 carbon atoms. Therfore, there are 18 sp2 hybridized orbitals in benzene.
Three sp2 hybrid orbitals.
90,180
s sp1 sp2 sp3 These are the hybridized orbitals that carbon will form.
sp2 hybrid orbitals overlap.
One 's' and two 'p' orbitals when mixed together they form tree 'sp2' hybridized orbitals, if 3rd 'p' orbital also have an electron then it forms a pi-bond.
Ethyne contains sp2 hybrid orbitals, so if you replaced a hydrogen with a fluorine you should have the situation you want.
120 degrees as methyl carbocation has a trigonal planar structure with 3 hybridised sp2 orbitals in a plane with bond angle 120 deg and the fourth unhybridised orbital perpendicular to the plane
They are both sp2 hybridized orbitals.
