Given below are 2s,2p,sp,sp²,and sp³ orbitals,all drawn to scale and in no particular order.Which of these orbitals represents the hybrid orbital with the greatest effective electronegativity?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

sp hybrid orbitals have greater effective electronegativity than sp2 or sp3 hybrid orbitals. Orbital III is an sp hybrid orbital, and therefore has the greatest effective electronegativity.
