Question

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

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

sp hybrid orbitals have a bond angle of 180°. This geometry is linear, resulting from the mixing of one s orbital and one p orbital. Examples include ethyne (C₂H₂) and beryllium chloride (BeCl₂).

Hint

Linear geometry has the bond angle of a straight line.
