Question

in which molecule s-p overlapping occurs?
1) CH4
(2) NH3
(3) H2O
(4) All are wrong

Answer 1

Explanation:

h2o means water molecule s- p overlappingoccurs

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is option d.) All the above-given option is wrong.

Explanation:

Hybridization is a concept related to Quantum Physics. In this process the mixing of the orbitals having the same or similar energy takes place and they form the new orbitals with less energy. The whole process is done to form stable molecules.

In order to form sp hybridization, one s and one p orbital are needed and the angle it forms the angle of 180 degrees. But, in the given molecules $C H_{4}, N H_{3}, \text { and } H_{2} O$ the hybridization is sp3 and the shape will be tetrahedral and the angle between them will be 120 degrees.
