Question

How can you tell the difference between sp3, sp2, and sp hybridization?

Answer 1

sp2 hybridization: one s orbital+two p orbital involves in hybridization and it will leads to equilateral triangle form (if all are bond pair bp). ... sp3 hybridization: one s orbital+three p orbital involves inhybridization and it will leads to tetrahedral form ( methane).

Answer 2

sp orbital means one s orbital + one p orbital

Sp2 orbital means one s orbital + 2 p orbitals

Sp3 orbital means one s orbital + 3 p orbitals
