3.Explain why the bonds formed in
SP^3
hybrid orbitals are stronger and stable compare to the bonds formed by using pure atomic orbitals?
a.The lobes in
SP^3
hybrid orbitals are separated by anode.
b.In
SP^3
hybrid orbital, the electron density is concentrated in one direction leading to greater overlap.
c.
SP^3
hybrid orbitals are similar to p orbitals.
d.
SP^3
hybrid orbitals have two lobes of unequal sizes
4.Which of these shows how a sigma
(δ)
bond is formed.
a.sideway overlap of S and P orbitals
b.Edge on overlap of p orbitals
c.sideway overlap of p orbitals
d.edge on overlaps of pure S and P orbitals
