p < sp is the correct answer.
Explanation:
- The orbitals are the regions of atom where probability of finding an electron is maximum.
- The orbitals are named as s, p, d, f etc.
- The p orbital has the graphs where we can see that the probability of finding electron is equal in both the sides of an axis.
- This makes the total probability of both directions equal and the directional character vanishes.
- But in sp hybridization, the lobe of probability of finding an electron is more in one side.
- This gives the directional character to the hybridization.
- So, sp hybridization has more directional character than p.
