    s-character is the contribution of sigma type bond in a hybridization: sp3 = 25% s-character, 75% p-character sp2 = 33% s-character, 66% p-character sp = 50% s-character, 50% p-character The more s-character a bond has, the stronger and shorter the bond is. so an sp-sp bond is strongest, and sp3-sp3 bond is weakest. The bond angle of sp3 is 109.5, sp2 is 120 and sp is 180. An sp orbital is half s character, sp2 is 1/3 s character and sp3 is 1/4 s character, so increasing the s character corresponds to increasing the bond angle.

    s character...you can understand from hybridization concept

    sp... two orbital..so 50% s and 50% p character

    sp2...three orbital.. one s and two p...so 33.33% s character and 66.66% p character
