Question

hybridisation of sp3

Answer 1

The process of intermixing of one s and three p orbitals to give four identical hybrid orbitals is known as sp3 (or) tetrahedral hybridization". Characteristics Sp3 hybridization: In this hybridization four hybrid orbitals are formed. ... Sp3 hybrid orbitals are bigger than sp2 and sp hybrid orbitals

Answer 2

sp³ hybridisation :

• Intermixing of one s- orbital and three p-orbitals of an atom to give four identical sp³ hybrid orbitals is called sp³ hybridisation.

• The four sp³ hybrid orbitals are arranged tetrahedrally around the central atom.

• For example, in Methane, carbon undergoes sp³ hybridization and gives four sp³ hybrid orbitals. Each sp³ hybrid orbital has one unpaired electron.

• The four sp³ hybrid orbitals overlap with 1s orbitals of hydrogen to form 4 (sp³-s)σ bonds.
