Which of the following pair of compounds will have three s p^2 -hybrid orbitals?

Options

  1. ASO ₂, CH ₄
  2. BSO ₃, C ₂ H ₄
  3. CBF ₃, SF ₄
  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
