Consider the formation of an sp² hybrid orbital. Which of the following is true? A) Four equivalent hybrid orbitals are produced. B) One s and one p atomic orbital are involved. C) One p atomic orbital remains unhybridized. D) The hybrid orbitals produced can form p bonds. E) none of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hybridization involves one s and three p orbitals, resulting in four sp3 hybrid orbitals. However, one of the p orbitals remains unhybridized and can participate in pi bonding.
