which orbital is more negative from sp, sp² and sp³? why?
➠ Sp hybridized orbital is more electronegative then other two orbitals in the given question .
✪ Electronegativity depends on greater the % of S - character.
✪ So if S % composition is greater then negative value increases
✪ In case of Sp hybridized orbital % of S = 50%
✪ In case of Sp² hybridized orbital % of S = 33.33%
✪ In case of Sp³ hybridized orbital % of S = 25%
✪ Hence we can clearly understand that Sp hybridized orbital is more negative than other 2 orbitals
✪ In Sp hybridized orbital as nucleus size is less and % of S character is more it is so close to nucleus and It can be attracted in all possible directions by nucleus.
✪ So it becomes the more electronegative than other two orbitals
✪ So Your answer is Sp hybridized orbital
