Question

On hybridisation of one s and one p-orbital we get

• A. two mutually perpendicular orbitals
• B. two orbitals at ${180}^\circ$
• C. four orbitals directed tetrahedrally
• D. three orbitals in a plane

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

two orbitals at ${180}^\circ$

Answer 2

Hybridisation of one -' and one - p' orbitals gives two
sp hybrid orbitals oriented linearly at ${180}^\circ$.
$s+p \rightarrow 2sp$ hybrid orbitals
