Question

The two sp-hybrid points in the opposite direction along the z-axis with projecting lobes are of size .(taking positive sign as overlapping end ) (a) More negative and less positive (b) Same positive and negative (c) More positive and less negative (d) Both (a) and (b)​

Answer 1

Explanation:

c) More positive and less negative

Answer 2

The two sp-hybrid points in the opposite direction along the z-axis with projecting lobes are of size:

(c) More positive and less negative.

• The sp-hybrid orbitals are formed by the combination of one s-orbital and one p-orbital. Therefore the sp-hybrid orbitals have equal percentages of s and p character that is 50% each. When it is mentioned that the central atom of a molecule is sp-hybridized that means the central atom has linear geometry.
• The two sp-hybrid points in the opposite direction along the z-axis have projecting lobes of positive charge and very minute negative lobes. This combination results in the formation of strong ionic bonds. For example, $BeCl_2$.
