    Question

    What happens when one s orbital and one p orbital

    hybridize?
    A We get three orbitals in a plane Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B We get two orbitals at 180 degrees Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C We get two mutually perpendicular orbitals Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D We get four orbitals directed tetrahedrally Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    When one s orbital and one p orbital hybridize, they form two sp hybrid orbitals that are oriented 180 degrees apart, resulting in a linear shape.
