    As the s-character of hybridized orbital decreases, the bond angle                                           [DPMT 1986]

    A)                 Decreases          

    B)                 Increases

    C)                 Does not change             

    D)                 Becomes zero

    Correct Answer: A

    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 \[{{109}^{o}}\] In \[s{{p}^{2}}\]hybridisation: s-character 1/3, bond angle \[{{120}^{o}}\] In sp hybridisation: s-character 1/2, bond angle \[{{180}^{o}}\]
