Greater the s-character, smaller is the hybridised orbital and more is the tendency for overlapping. Also, more is bond energy smaller is the bond length.

Q. The orbitals of same energy level providing the most efficient overlapping are:

$s p - s p$

$s p^{2} - s p^{2}$

$s p^{3} - s p^{3}$

all of these

Greater the s-character, smaller is the hybridised orbital and more is the tendency for overlapping. Also, more is bond energy smaller is the bond length.

Q. The orbitals of same energy level providing the most efficient overlapping are:

sp−sp

sp2−sp2

sp3−sp3

all of these

Greater the s-character, smaller is the hybridised orbital and more is the tendency for overlapping. Also, more is bond energy smaller is the bond length.

$s p - s p$

$s p^{2} - s p^{2}$

$s p^{3} - s p^{3}$
