Question
Which hybrid orbital corresponds to a bond angle of 180°?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
sp hybridization involves the mixing of one s and one p orbital, resulting in two linear hybrid orbitals oriented 180° apart. This gives a bond angle of 180°.
Hint
Linear geometry has a bond angle of 180°. Which hybridization is associated with linear molecules?
