Question

The number of hybrid orbital produce in sp3 hybridization

Answer 1

Answer:

The term “sp3 hybridization” refers to the mixing character of one 2s-orbital and three 2p-orbitals to create four hybrid orbitals with similar characteristics. In order for an atom to be sp3 hybridized, it must have an s orbital and three p orbitals.

Four equivalent sp3 hybrid orbitals, resulting from the combination of one s atomic orbital and three p atomic orbitals, can then describe by four new wave functions (equations 1 – 4)

*   ψ(sp3) = 0.5 ( ψ2s + ψ2px + ψ2py + ψ2pz) (1)

*  ψ(sp3) = 0.5 ( ψ2s + ψ2px - ψ2py - ψ2pz) (2)

*  ψ(sp3) = 0.5 ( ψ2s - ψ2px - ψ2py + ψ2pz) (3)

*   ψ(sp3) = 0.5 ( ψ2s - ψ2px + ψ2py - ψ2pz) (4)
