Question

When the carbon atom is sp- hybridized in a compound, it is bonded to
al 2 other atoms
bi 4 other atoms
d 3 other atoms
d 5 other atoms
What is bond angle between the hybrid orbitals in methane?
al 180°​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

When a carbon atom is sp-hybridised, it is bonded to a) two other atoms

There can be 2 possibilities:

1.) When Sp-hybridised Carbon atom has double bonds on both of the atoms

2.) When Sp-hybridised Carbon atom has a single bond with one atom and a triple bond with the other

As we can see for a Carbon to be Sp-hybridise it needs 2 other atoms and the it has a linear shape, therefore, the angle is 180 degrees
