(c) sp-s has the highest bond energy of overlapping.
Explanation:
- s orbitals hold electrons more tightly to the nucleus than p orbitals.
- The greater the s character, the closer are the electrons to the nucleus.
- The greater the s character, the shorter and stronger is the bond.
- Shorter and stronger bonds signify more overlapping between orbitals.
- Due to all these reasons, bond length in sp³ hybridized atoms is greater than sp² and sp hybridized atoms, and bond strength in sp³ hybridized atoms is less than sp² and sp hybridized atoms.
