Which of the following has s p^3 -hybridisation?

Which of the following has

s p^3

-hybridisation? Which of the following has s p^3 -hybridisation?

Which of the following has s p^3 -hybridisation?

Options

A $\mathrm{BCl}_3$
B $\mathrm{PCl}_3$
C $\mathrm{BeCl}_2$
DNone of these

Correct answer

B. $\mathrm{PCl}_3$

Step-by-step solution

Which of the following has s p^3 -hybridisation?

(l p s+\sigma-b p s=1+3=4)

hence, hybridisation

=s p^3

\mathrm{PCl}_3

has

s p^3

hybridisation but due to presence of one lone pair, it is pyramidal in geometry. (Inspite of being tetrahedral)
