Determine the correct order of hybridization of the central atom in the following species N H 3 , [ P t C l 4 ] 2 - , P C l 5 and B C l 3 .
Options
- Ad s p 2 , d s p 3 , s p 2 and s p 3
- Bs p 3 , d s p 2 , d s p 3 , s p 2
- Cd s p 2 , s p 2 , s p 3 , d s p 3
- Dd s p 2 , s p 3 , s p 2 , d s p 3
Correct answer
B. s p 3 , d s p 2 , d s p 3 , s p 2
Step-by-step solution
Hybridization of N in N H 3 is s p 3 that of Pt in [ P t C l 4 ] 2 - is d s p 2 that P in P C l 5 is s p 3 d and that of B in B C l 3 is s p 2 .
