Which of the following molecules shows sp^3d hybridisation?
Which of the following molecules shows hybridisation?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
The hybridisation of a central atom can be determined using the formula for steric number ():
where is the number of valence electrons on the central atom, is the number of monovalent atoms attached, is the cationic charge, and is the anionic charge.
For :
Central atom is P ().
Number of monovalent Cl atoms ().
A steric number of corresponds to hybridisation.
For :
Central atom is S ().
Number of monovalent atoms ().
( hybridisation).
For :
Central atom is B ().
Number of monovalent F atoms ().
( hybridisation).
For :
Central atom is C ().
Number of monovalent atoms ().
( hybridisation).
Thus, shows hybridisation.
