sp hybridisation Flashcards
1
Q
how is sp orbitals produced
A
one s and one p orbital produce two sp orbitals which give rise to two sigma
2
Q
what is the bond angle of sp orbitals
A
180 to minimize repulsion between the electrons.
3
Q
what shape is the sp orbitals
A
The two sp orbitals adopt a linear planar shape
4
Q
when does sp hybrid orbitals occur
A
sp hybrid orbitals occur when carbon dioxide forms.
