Which of the following pair of compounds will have three s p^2 -hybrid orbitals?
Options
- ASO ₂, CH ₄
- BSO ₃, C ₂ H ₄
- CBF ₃, SF ₄
- DI ₃⁻, SF ₄
Correct answer
B. SO ₃, C ₂ H ₄
Step-by-step solution
SO ₂ : trigonal planar : three s p^2 -hybride orbitals CH ₄ : tetrahedral : four s p^3 -hybrid orbitals SO ₃ : trigonal planar : three s p^2 -hybrid orbitals C ₂ H ₄ : trigonal planar : three s p^2 -hybrid orbitals BF ₃ : trigonal planar : three s p^2 -hybrid orbitals SF ₄ : irregular tetrahedral : five s p^3 d -hybrid orbitals I₃⁻ L linear five s p^3 d -hybrid orbitals
