When one s - and one p-orbital mix, the resulting hybrid orbitals have a geometry. A) Trigonal-planar

B) Tetrahedral

C) Linear

When one s - and one p-orbital mix, the resulting hybrid orbitals have a Linear geometry

Explanation:

To produce two similar sp hybrid orbitals the process of combining the valence s orbital with one of the valence p orbitals that are situated in a linear geometry is termed as hybridization method. When atoms are arrayed in a vertical line supporting 180° angle then the molecule is referred to as Linear molecule.

Carbon dioxide (O=C=O) is the most common sample to explain the linear electron set and molecular geometry. In which there exists a pair of electrons and none lone pairs present. It is accordingly linear in electron-group geometry. The repellent forces depreciate the linear adjustment
