An Intiative by Sri Chaitanya

Lone pair and bond pair occupy different volume around central atom.

Maximum distance between hybrid orbitals will be present in $s p^{2}$ hybridisation out of $s p$ , $s p^{2}$ , $s p^{3}$ hybridisation.

Central atom is always more electronegative than surrounding atoms in a molecule.

Hybrid orbitals formed by the s and $p_{x}$ orbitals may lie in $X Y$ plane or $X Z$ plane.

Detailed Solution

Electrostatic repulsions are more significant for lone pairs than for bonded pairs, and they take up more space surrounding the centre atom. One s and one p orbitals of an atom are combined in this hybridization to create two new hybrid orbitals that are equivalent in form and energy and are known as sp hybrid orbitals.
