Question
An ____ orbital is formed from one s and two p orbitals and thus has 33.3% s character and 66.7% p charact
Answer
An sp2 orbital is formed from one s and two p orbitals and thus has 33.3% s character and 66.7% p charact
Note: The superscripts indicate the character: an sp2 orbital is formed from one s and two p orbitals and thus has 33.3% s character and 66.7% p character; an sp orbital is formed from one s- and one p-orbital and thus has 50% s character and 50% p character; and so on. The more s character a bond has, the shorter, stronger, and more stable it is.
