The change in bond angle as the s-character of hybridized orbital decreases is,

Options

  1. ADecreases
  2. BIncreases
  3. CDoes not change
  4. DBecomes zero

Correct answer

A. Decreases

Step-by-step solution

As the s-character of hybridized orbitals decreases the bond angle also decreases In s p 3 hybridisation: s - character 1 / 4 , bond angle 10 9 o In s p 2 hybridisation: s - character 1 / 3 , bond angle 12 0 o In s p hybridisation: s - character 1 / 2 , bond angle 18 0 o
