BITSAT Chemistry Question (2022) — Solution
Options
- A. number of lone pairs are same
- B. all have same hybridisation of centre of atom
- C. the bond angles are same
- D. number of bond pairs are same
Answer
B. all have same hybridisation of centre of atom
Step-by-step solution
CH _4 ; bp =4 ; s p^3-hybridisation NF _3 ; bp =3 ; l p=1 ; s p^3-hybridisation NH _4^ + ; bp =4 ; l p=0 ; s p^3-hybridisation H _2 O ; bp =2 ; l p=2 ; s p^3-hybridisation Hence, all have the same slope.
