MCQ
$s-$character in $sp$ hybridised orbitals are
  • A
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • $\frac{1}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{4}$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{3}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{1}{2}$
b
$s$-character in $sp$ hybridized orbital are $50 \,\%$ or we say, $\frac{1}{2}$

$s$-orbitals hold electrons closer to the atom they surround, so a hybridized orbital with $50 \,\%\, s$ character $(sp)$ holds electrons closer because it behaves more like an $s$ atomic orbital.
