      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.
