Correct Answer: We get two orbitals at 180 degrees


Solution : The correct option is We get two orbitals at 180 degrees

Hybrid orbitals produced by the hybridization of S and P orbitals are applicable for chemical bonding. Depending on the quantity and kind of orbitals involved, a hybrid of S and P orbitals is a common occurrence that results in a range of hybrid orbitals. In S-P hybridization, one S orbital and one P orbital from the same atom combine to form two S-P hybrid orbitals. There is a 180-degree angle between each of these straight-line-arranged orbitals.
