Question

Select all true statements about hybridization, of a second-row element, changing from sp2 to sp3. (max of 3 choices) a. The atom will go from a two-dimensional configuration to a three-dimensional configuration. b. The atom will go from a three-dimensional configuration to a two-dimensional configuration. c. The number of unhybridized p orbitals will increase. d. The bond angle will increase e. The bond angle will decrease f. The number of unhybridized p orbitals will decrease.

Answer 1

a. The atom will go from a two-dimensional configuration to a three dimensional configuration.

d. The bond angle will increase.

f. The number of unhybridized p orbitals will decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sp2 is the atomic bond in which orbitals mixes with only two orbitals. These orbitals form three sp2. When two carbon atoms are overlapped they form sigma bond by overlapping of sp2 bonds. Sp3 bond is created when there is one lone molecule available for combination. When the bonding is updated from sp2 to sp3 then unhybridized orbitals will decrease causing the bond angle to increase.
