The number of species from the following in which the central atom uses sp3{sp}^{3} hybrid orbitals in its bonding is _________.

NH3,SO2,SiO2,BeCl2,CO2,H2O,CH4,BF3{NH}_{3}, {SO}_{2}, {SiO}_{2}, {BeCl}_{2}, {CO}_{2}, {H}_{2}O, {CH}_{4}, {BF}_{3}

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

H2Ohassp3{H}_{2}Ohas{sp}^{3} hybridisation and angular shape due to 22 lone pair of electrons.

NH3hassp3{NH}_{3}has{sp}^{3} hybridised nitrogen atom and pyramidal shape due to 11 lone pair of electrons.

SiO2hassp3{SiO}_{2}has{sp}^{3}hybridised atoms, it is a network solid and the shape is tetrahedral around each silicon atom. 

SO2hassp2{SO}_{2}has{sp}^{2} hybridised sulphur atom and the shape is V-shaped due to 11 lone pair of electrons.

BF3hassp2{BF}_{3}has{sp}^{2} hybridised boron atom and the shape is trigonal planar.

BeCl2→sp{BeCl}_{2} \to sp

CO2→sp{CO}_{2} \to sp

CH4→sp3{CH}_{4} \to {sp}^{3}

Hence the answer is 44
