Question
In diamond the state of hybridisation of carbon is:
- sp 2
- sp 3
- sp
- None of the above
Hint:
Formula of Hybridization=1/2[V+M-C+A]
Hybridization can be define as the concept of mixing two atomic orbitals to create a new type of hybrid orbital.
The correct answer is: sp 3
The correct option is b)sp3.
In diamond, each carbon bonds to four other carbon atoms with four sigma bonds. Therefore, carbon hybridization in diamond is sp3.
The term "sp3 hybridization" refers to the mixing properties of one 2s and three 2p orbitals, creating four hybrid orbitals with similar properties. An atom needs one s and three p orbitals to be sp3 hybridized.
