Combination of one s orbital with one p orbital?
The combination of one s orbital with one p orbital forms a hybridized sp orbital. This hybridization occurs when an s orbital and a p orbital mix to create two equivalent sp orbitals that are linear in shape. The sp hybrid orbitals have 50% s character and 50% p character.
The sp3d2 atomic hybrid orbital set accommodates how many electron PAIRS?
The sp3d2 atomic hybrid orbital set can accommodate 6 electron pairs.
How does hybridisation effect bond length?
simple rule is that the more s character in the hybrid orbital the smaller it is and therefore the shorter the bond it will make. Soem of the shortening observed in double bonds is due to this effect. sp shorter than sp2 shorter than sp3
What are the characteristic hybrid orbitals employed by carbon in a double bond in an alkene?
Carbon in a double bond in an alkene uses sp² hybrid orbitals. These hybrid orbitals are formed by combining one s orbital and two p orbitals from the carbon atom, resulting in three sp² hybrid orbitals that are used to form sigma bonds with other atoms. The remaining p orbital on each carbon atom forms a pi bond with the other, creating the double bond.
What energy level can the s orbital be found in?
Each main energy level (1 to 7) has at least an s-orbital, p-orbitals are possible from the second level onwards (2 to 7) d-orbitals from 4th level f-orbitals from 6th level

The sp3d2 atomic hybrid orbital set accommodates how many electron PAIRS?
The sp3d2 atomic hybrid orbital set can accommodate 6 electron pairs.
Which orbital has the least amount of energy?
The orbital with the least amount of energy is the 1s orbital, the innermost orbital in an atom. This orbital has the lowest energy level because it is closest to the nucleus.
How many atomic orbitals must be mixed to make the sp2 hybrid orbital?
five atomic orbitals must be mixed into one ; one s orbital; three p orbital; one d orbital, forming sp3d orbital
Are the s and p orbitals of the noble gases are always empty?
No. Helium is the only noble gas to have an empty p-orbital, and has one full s-orbital. The rest all have at least one of each orbital full.
What type of bonding is present between C and H with C2H4?
The bonding between carbon and hydrogen in ethylene (C2H4) is covalent bonding. Each carbon atom forms four covalent bonds, two with hydrogen atoms and two with the other carbon atom.
Why Sp2 carbon is more electronegative than Sp3 carbon?
We should know that S orbitals hold electrons more tightly to nucleus than P orbitals . This implies that S orbitals are effectively more electronegative . Now, in sp2 carbon the character of each orbital has 1/3 or 33% of s orbital characteristics whereas in each sp3 orbital s character is 1/4 or 25% . So sp2 has more s character and therfore more electronegativity. H.Sehgal
How many elements does the s orbital have?
Orbitals don't contain elements. The elements each have specific orbitals based on the number of electrons it has. All of the elements have at least one s orbital. Hydrogen being the simplest element has one electron in the 1s orbital. The s orbital can contain a maximum of 2 electrons.
How does hybridisation effect bond length?
simple rule is that the more s character in the hybrid orbital the smaller it is and therefore the shorter the bond it will make. Soem of the shortening observed in double bonds is due to this effect. sp shorter than sp2 shorter than sp3

Each main energy level (1 to 7) has at least an s-orbital, p-orbitals are possible from the second level onwards (2 to 7) d-orbitals from 4th level f-orbitals from 6th level
Which orbital is nearest to nucleus?
s-orbital
What does the s orbital fill before the p orbitals?
The s orbital fills before the p orbitals because it has lower energy. This means that electrons will fill up the s orbital before moving to the higher energy p orbitals in the electronic configuration of an atom.
