$sp^2$

Vedclass · Answer

(C) The bond angle of $sp^3$ hybrid orbitals is $109.5^o$.The bond angle of $sp^2$ hybrid orbitals is $120^o$.The bond angle of $sp$ hybrid orbitals is $180^o$.An $sp$ orbital has $50\%$ $s$-character,$sp^2$ has $33.33\%$ $s$-character,and $sp^3$ has $25\%$ $s$-character.As the $s$-character increases,the bond angle increases.Therefore,the hybrid orbital that forms a bond at an angle of $120^o$ is $sp^2$.

Column $I$ (Molecule/ion)	Column $II$ (Hybridisation)

$B$. $NH_2^{-}$	$Q$. $sp^2$
$C$. $NO_3^{-}$	$R$. $sp^3$
$D$. $ClF_3$	$S$. $sp^3d$

Out of the following hybrid orbitals,the one which forms the bond at an angle of $120^o$ is:
