Vedclass · Answer

(A) In $CH_4$,the carbon atom is $sp^3$ hybridized. The percentage of $s$-character is $\frac{1}{4} 	imes 100 = 25\%$.In $C_2H_4$ (ethene),the carbon atom is $sp^2$ hybridized. The percentage of $s$-character is $\frac{1}{3} 	imes 100 \approx 33.3\%$.In $C_2H_2$ (ethyne),the carbon atom is $sp$ hybridized. The percentage of $s$-character is $\frac{1}{2} 	imes 100 = 50\%$.Therefore,the correct sequence is $25, 33, 50$.

The percentage $s$-character of the hybrid orbitals in methane,ethene,and ethyne are respectively:
