What is hybridisation of O in H_2 O ?

What is hybridisation of O in H2O\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} ?What is hybridisation of O in H_2 O ?

Options

  1. Asps p
  2. Bsp3s p^3
  3. Csp2s p^2
  4. DNo hybridisation

Correct answer

B. sp3s p^3

Step-by-step solution

In gaseous state, water exists as discrete H2O\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} molecule, in which the central OO atom contains four sp3\mathrm{sp}^3-hybridised orbitals. Two of which are half - filled and used in over lapping with 1s orbital of H -atom to given two sp3−s,O−H,σ\mathrm{sp}^3-\mathrm{s}, \mathrm{O}-\mathrm{H}, \sigma-bond while the remaining two exist as lone pair. The geometry of the molecule is angular or V -shape. What is hybridisation of O in H_2 O ?
