can you explain in detail about sp,sp2,sp3 in carbon and it's compounds lesson
Answers
The answer is fully explained below please read it carefully and mark me Brainlyiest
1. sp Hybridization
Carbon can have an sp hybridization when it is bound to two other atoms with the help of two double bonds or one single and one triple bond. When the hybridization occurs the molecules have a linear arrangement of the atoms with a bond angle of 180°.
Example: Hybridization of CO2.
2. sp2 Hybridization
A carbon atom is sp2 hybridized when bonding takes place between 1 s-orbital with two p orbitals. There is a formation of two single bonds and one double bond between three atoms. The hybrid orbitals are placed in a triangular arrangement with 120° angles between bonds.
Example: Hybridization of graphite
3. sp3 Hybridization
When the carbon atom is bonded to four other atoms the hybridization is said to be sp3 type. Here 1 s orbital and 3 p orbitals in the same shell of an atom combine to form four new equivalent orbitals. The arrangement is tetrahedral with a bond angle of 109.5o.
Example: Hybridization of CH4 (Methane)
