When an s orbital hybridizes with one p orbitalwhat is the angle between the resulting orbitals?

There are only two hybridised orbitals. By the electron pair repulsion theory, the bond angle would be 180o.

Sp hybridized orbitals are what?

sp hybrid orbitals are literally a hybrid of the S and P orbitals. in P block atoms that have 4 distinct bonds or non bonding pairs of electrons the valence electrons organize into 4 sp hybrid orbitals that point out from the nucleus like the points of a tetrahedron.


When an s orbital hybridizes with one p orbital what is the angle between the resulting orbitals?

The angle between an s and a p orbital in sp hybridization is 180 degrees, forming linear geometry. This hybridization involves mixing one s orbital with one p orbital to create two sp hybrids.


Combination of one s orbital with one p orbital?

s orbitals are spherical, so there cannot be any angle 'between' an s orbital and a p orbital. However, each lobe of a p orbital is perpendicular (90 degrees in all directions) to the surface of an s orbital.


How far apart are the sp3 orbitals in an sp hybridization?

In an sp hybridization, the sp3 orbitals are arranged at angles of 180 degrees from each other, resulting in a linear configuration. The sp3 orbitals are not separate entities, but they form a single hybrid orbital.


Sp hybridized orbital are?

orbitals are 'hybridized' when some energy has been distributed to them so they are no longer distinct as atomic orbitals, distinct as separate 's' and 'p' orbitals but are 2 equal orbitals called 'sp' hybridized.


How far apart are the sp orbitals in an sp hybridization?

What Bond angle between sp and sp hybrids?

The bond angles between sp and sp hybrids are 180 degrees. This is because sp hybridization involves the combination of one s orbital and one p orbital, resulting in a linear geometry with bond angles of 180 degrees.


What is the hybridization of the central atom in CO?

The central atom in CO is carbon, and its hybridization is sp. This means that carbon's 2s orbital and one of its 2p orbitals combine to form two sp hybrid orbitals.


Does Carbon use sp hybrid orbitals in ClCN?

Yes, in ClCN (cyanogen chloride), carbon uses sp hybrid orbitals. The carbon atom forms a triple bond with nitrogen, requiring sp hybridization to accommodate the bond angles and geometry of the molecule.
