Question

Which hybridization type involves the mixing of one s orbital and three p orbitals?
Options
A sp
B sp²
C sp³
Correct Answer
D sp³d
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

sp³ hybridization involves the mixing of one s orbital and three p orbitals to form four equivalent sp³ hybrid orbitals. This hybridization occurs in molecules like methane (CH₄) and ammonia (NH₃).

Hint

The superscript in the hybridization name indicates the number of p orbitals mixed.
