MCQ
The nature of hybridization in $C{H_2}Cl - C{H_2}Cl$ for carbon is
A
$sp$
B
$s{p^2}$
✓
$s{p^3}$
D
$s{p^2}d$
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
$s{p^3}$
c In $CH _2 Cl - CH _2 Cl$ is one s orbital and $3 p$ orbitals belonging to the same shell of an atom mix together to form four new equivalent orbital, the type of hybridization is called a tetrahedral hybridization or $sp ^3$. The new orbitals formed are called $sp ^3$ hybrid orbitals.
