the ( sp^3 ) hybridization has what percent s character and what percent p character?
50%; 50%
33%; 67%
67%; 33%
25%; 75%

Explanation:

Step1: Recall \( sp^3 \) hybridization composition

In \( sp^3 \) hybridization, one \( s \) orbital and three \( p \) orbitals combine. So total hybrid orbitals: \( 1 + 3 = 4 \).

Step2: Calculate s character percentage

Percent \( s \) character: \( \frac{1}{4} \times 100\% = 25\% \).

Step3: Calculate p character percentage

Percent \( p \) character: \( \frac{3}{4} \times 100\% = 75\% \).

Answer:

25%; 75% (corresponding to the option with 25% s character and 75% p character, e.g., if the last option is "25%; 75%", then the answer is that option)
