What is the relationship between hybridization and bond length?
Options
- AHybridization has no effect on bond length.
- Bsp hybridization results in shorter bonds than sp2 and sp3 hybridization.
- Csp3 hybridization results in shorter bonds than sp and sp2 hybridization.
- Dsp2 hybridization results in shorter bonds than sp and sp3 hybridization.
Correct answer
B. sp hybridization results in shorter bonds than sp2 and sp3 hybridization.
Step-by-step solution
The sp hybrid orbital forms shorter bonds than the sp2 and sp3 hybrid orbitals.
