Question

What is the bond angle associated with sp³ hybrid orbitals?
Options
A 90°
B 109.5°
Correct Answer
C 120°
D 180°
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

sp³ hybrid orbitals have a bond angle of 109.5°. This geometry is tetrahedral, resulting from the mixing of one s orbital and three p orbitals. Examples include methane (CH₄) and ammonia (NH₃).

Hint

Tetrahedral geometry corresponds to a specific bond angle.
