Q. Decreasing order of $s$-character is $ sp, sp^{2},sp^{3}$ -hybrid orbitals:

Haryana PMTHaryana PMT 2002

Solution:

s-character in $s p$-hybrid orbital $=50 \% s$-character in $s p^{2}$ hybrid orbital $=33 \%$ s-character in $s p^{3}$ hybrid orbital $=25 \%$ Decreasing order $s p>s p^{2}>s p^{3}$
