Question

In diamond and graphite the percentage of s-characters of the Hybrid orbitals in hybridisation are respectively ___?

Moderate

A

75 and 25
B

50 and 50
C

25 and 33
D

25 and 75

Solution

Carbon hybridization in diamond is $s p^{3}$
carbon Hybridization in graphite is $s p^{2}$
$\begin{array}{l} % S in {SP}^{3} = \frac{1}{4} \times 100 = 25 % \\ % S in {SP}^{2} = \frac{1}{3} \times 100 = 33.33 % \approx 33 \end{array}$
