Question
Question: Order of size of \(sp,sp^{2}\)and \(sp^{3}\)orbitals is....
Order of size of sp,sp2and sp3orbitals is.
A
sp3<sp3<sp
B
sp<sp2<sp3
C
sp2<sp<sp3
D
sp2<sp3<sp
Answer
sp<sp2<sp3
Explanation
Solution
: The percentage of s-dcharacter in sp3,sp2and sp is 25% 33% and 50% respectively. Order of size of orbitals is sp<sp2<sp3.
