Best Answer

sp3 orbitals are similar in shape to p orbitals however one side is much larger than the other - hence you have a lopsided dunbell shape orbital

In XeO3 Xe show sp3 but shape is pyramidal why?

in XeO3 ,Xe shows sp3 but shape is pyramidal because of the presence of a lone pair of electrons on the central xenon atom. This lone pair distorts the shape of the molecule making it pyramidal.

What is the shape bond angle and hybridization of CH3CH double bond CHCH3?

The formula looks like trans- 2-butene. The c atoms working left to right will have sp3 sp2 sp2, sp3 hybridisation. the bond angles will be tetrahedral on the sp3 centers, 120 0 on the sp2 centres which have a planar shape, with all four substituents lying in the same plane. Good picture in wikipedia. The actual bond angles will deviate slightly.
