What are the percentage s-character of the hybrid orbitals in methane, ethene and ethyne respectively
Options
- A25, 33, 50
- B25, 50, 75
- C50, 75, 100
- D10, 20, 40
Correct answer
A. 25, 33, 50
Step-by-step solution
% of s-character in C H 4 ( s p 3 ) = 100 4 = 25 , C 2 H 4 ( s p 2 ) = 100 3 = 33 , C 2 H 2 ( s p ) = 100 2 = 50
