Question: Order of size of \(sp,sp^{2}\)and \(sp^{3}\)orbitals is....

Order of size of sp,sp2sp,sp^{2}and sp3sp^{3}orbitals is.

A

sp3<sp3<spsp^{3} < sp^{3} < sp

B

sp<sp2<sp3sp < sp^{2} < sp^{3}

C

sp2<sp<sp3sp^{2} < sp < sp^{3}

D

sp2<sp3<spsp^{2} < sp^{3} < sp

Answer

sp<sp2<sp3sp < sp^{2} < sp^{3}

Explanation

Solution

: The percentage of s-dcharacter in sp3,sp2sp^{3},sp^{2}and sp is 25% 33% and 50% respectively. Order of size of orbitals is sp<sp2<sp3sp < sp^{2} < sp^{3}.
