Question

The percentage of s-character in sp² hybridization is:
Options
A 25%
B 33.3%
Correct Answer
C 50%
D 66.6%
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

sp² hybridization involves the mixing of one s orbital and two p orbitals. The contribution from the single s orbital is therefore 1 out of the total 3 orbitals, which is approximately 33.3%.

Hint

Calculate the fraction of s orbitals in the total number of hybrid orbitals.
