Question

Which hybrid orbital corresponds to a bond angle of 180°?
Options
A sp³
B sp²
C sp
Correct Answer
D sp³d
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?
