Question 9 • *26-27 CFISD TX-Chemistry A CR

Choose the molecular geometry of each type of hybrid orbital that forms.When one s- and one p-orbital mix, the resulting hybrid orbitals have a geometry.

Answer
A
trigonal-planar
B
tetrahedral
C
linear

Explanation

Mixing one s orbital with one p orbital forms two sp hybrid orbitals. They point in opposite directions, giving a 180° arrangement, which is linear. Therefore, the correct choice is linear.
