Question

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

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

sp hybridization involves the mixing of one s orbital and one p orbital to form two equivalent sp hybrid orbitals. This hybridization occurs in molecules like ethyne (C₂H₂) and beryllium chloride (BeCl₂).

Hint

Linear geometry with a bond angle of 180° is characteristic of sp hybridization.
