Question

what is SP3 hybridisation?

Answer 1

Involves mixing of one s orbital and three p orbitals to give four sp 3 orbitalsHybrid orbitals have 25% s and 75% p character.Four hybrid orbitals orient themselves in such a manner that each orbital is directed toward the four corners of a tetrahedron.Example: C in CH4 undergoes sp 3 hybridisation.

Answer 2

Hybridisation is the concept of mixing atomic orbitals into new hybrid orbitals suitable for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds in valence bond theory.
