Q: What is the geometry of a molecule with sp hybridization?
Solution:
Molecules with sp hybridization have a linear geometry due to the arrangement of two hybrid orbitals at 180 degrees.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what hybridization means. Hybridization is the mixing of atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals.
Step 2: Identify sp hybridization. This occurs when one s orbital and one p orbital mix together.
Step 3: Determine the number of hybrid orbitals formed. In sp hybridization, two hybrid orbitals are created.
Step 4: Know the arrangement of these hybrid orbitals. The two sp hybrid orbitals are arranged in a straight line.
Step 5: Measure the angle between the hybrid orbitals. The angle is 180 degrees.
Step 6: Conclude the geometry. Since the hybrid orbitals are arranged at 180 degrees, the geometry of the molecule is linear.
