Question

What is sp hybridization what are its important features?

Answer 1

answer is sp hybridization means one s- orbital and one - p orbital are combining to form hybrid orbital is called sp hybridization.

Important features are :
1. sp hybridization have linear shape .
2. sp hybridization have bond Angle 180 degree.

examples are co2 etc .

I hope My answer will help u

Answer 2

= The main features of hybridization are as under :-

1. The number of hybrid orbitals is equal to the number of atomic orbital that get hybridised .

2. The hybridized orbitals are equivalent in energy and shape.

3. The hybrid orbitals and more effective in forming stable bonds than the pure atomic orbitals .

4. These hybrid orbitals are directed in space in some preferred direction to have minimum repulsion between electron pairs and thus a stable arrangement is obtained. Therefore , the type of hybridization indicates the geometry of the molecules .
