Question

Explain sp sp2 sp3 hybridisation with suitable examples​

Answer 1

Explanation:

sp3 Hybridization These are directed towards the four corners of a regular tetrahedron and make an angle of 109°28' with one another. Each sp3 hybrid orbital has 25% s character and 75% p character. Example of sp3 hybridization: ethane (C2H6), methane.

Answer 2

Explanation:

SP HYBRIDISATION

sp hybridization is observed when one s and one p orbital in the same main shell of an atom mix to form two new equivalent orbitals. The new orbitals formed are called sp hybridized orbitals. It forms linear molecules with an angle of 180°

e.g :-All compounds of beryllium like BeF2, BeH2, BeCl2

SP2 HYBRIDISATION

sp2 hybridization is observed when one s and two p orbitals of the same shell of an atom mix to form 3 equivalent orbital. The new orbitals formed are called sp2 hybrid orbitals

e.g:-All the compounds of Boron i.e. BF3, BH3

SP3 HYBRIDIZATION

When one ‘s’ orbital and 3 ‘p’ orbitals belonging to the same shell of an atom mix together to form four new equivalent orbital, the type of hybridization is called a tetrahedral hybridization or sp3. The new orbitals formed are called sp3 hybrid orbitals.

Example of sp3 hybridization: ethane (C2H6), methane.
