Question
Question: Indicate the incorrect statement :...
Indicate the incorrect statement :
A
An ‘sp’ hybrid orbital is not lower in energy than both s- and p-orbitals
B
2px and 2py - orbitals of carbon can be hybridized to yield two new more stable orbitals
C
Effective hybridisation is not possible with orbitals of widely different energies
D
The concept of hybridisation has a greater significance in the VB theory of localised orbitals than in the MO theory.
Answer
2px and 2py - orbitals of carbon can be hybridized to yield two new more stable orbitals
Explanation
Solution
Hybridization does not take place without s-orbital
