Answer:
The sp³ orbital hybridization has 25% s-character and 75% p-character.
Explanation:
Hybridization refers to the process of mixing of a given number atomic orbitals to form equal number of new hybrid orbitals. The three types of hybrid orbitals are sp³, sp² and sp.
The four sp³ hybridized orbitals are formed by the mixing of one s orbital and three p orbitals.
Thus s-character in a sp³ hybridized orbital = (1÷4)×100 = 25%
and p-character in a sp³ hybridized orbital = (3÷4)×100 = 75%
Therefore, the sp³ orbital hybridization has 25% s-character and 75% p-character.
