Answer: 50%
Explanation:
The number of electron pairs are 2 for hybridization to be and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be linear.
1. percentage of s character in sp hybrid orbital =
2. percentage of s character in hybrid orbital =
3. percentage of s character in hybrid orbital =
Thus percentage of s-character in an sp hybrid is 50%.
Explanation:
Different atoms absorb and emit specific wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation and nothing in between. These absorption and emission spectra are actually used to identify atoms of elements in a substance. This phenomenon is explained by Bohr's theory of quantized energy levels in an atom – called orbital levels. When an electron 'jumps' from a lower to higher orbital level, it absorbs a specific wavelength of electromagnetic radiation specific to the ‘jump’. Vice versa, when an electron 'jumps' to a lower orbital level is emits an equivalent and specific wavelength of electromagnetic radiation.
