Q.

Passage :  

*          Three sp2 hybrid orbitals lying in a pl120°ane at  angle to one another.

*          Each sp2 hybrid orbital has  33.33% of s character and 66.66% of p character.

*          It gives trigonal shape to the molecule

Examples: sp2 hybridization is present in BCl3,C2H4,SO2,SO3, Benzene (C6H6), graphite,HCHO (methanol).
