    The s and p characters in bond formed by central atom are equal in

    A)  \[C{{H}_{4}}\]                                  

    B)  \[CH\equiv CH\]

    C)  \[CH_{3}^{+}\]                                

    D)  \[CH_{3}^{-}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    In sp type hybrid orbitals, s and p character are equal (.ie, 50% each). [a] In \[C{{H}_{4}}\to 4bp\Rightarrow s{{p}^{3}}\] hybridisation Thus, in it s-character is 25% and p-character is 75%. [b] In \[CH\equiv CH\Rightarrow 2bp\Rightarrow sp\] hybridisation Thus, s and p characters are equal. [c] In \[CH_{3}^{+}\Rightarrow 3bp\Rightarrow s{{p}^{2}}\] hybridisation. Thus, s-character in \[CH_{3}^{+}\] is\[~33.33\] and p-character is \[66.66%.\] [d] \[CH_{3}^{-}\Rightarrow 4bp\Rightarrow s{{p}^{3}}\] hybridisation Thus, .s-character is 25% and p-character 75%.
