Sulphur trioxide is dissolved in heavy water to form a compound X . The hybridisation state of sulphur in X is :
Options
- As p^2
- Bs p^3
- Cs p
- Dd s p^2
Correct answer
B. s p^3
Step-by-step solution
When SO ₃ is dissolved in heavy water D ₂ SO ₄ is formed as SO ₃+ D ₂ O (X) D ₂ SO ₄ The hybridisation state of S in D ₂ SO ₄ is s p^3
