Question

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

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

sp² hybridization involves the mixing of one s orbital and two p orbitals to form three equivalent sp² hybrid orbitals. This hybridization occurs in molecules like ethene (C₂H₄) and boron trichloride (BCl₃).

Hint

Count the number of p orbitals indicated by the superscript.
