What is the relationship between hybridization and bond length?

Options

  1. AHybridization has no effect on bond length.
  2. Bsp hybridization results in shorter bonds than sp2 and sp3 hybridization.
  3. Csp3 hybridization results in shorter bonds than sp and sp2 hybridization.
  4. 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.
