Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 219

Question: The correct order of hybridization of the central atom in the following species $ NH_3 $ $ {{[PtCl_4]}^{2-}},,PCl_5 $ and $ BCl_3 $ is

Options:

A) $ dsp^{2},dsp^{3},sp^{2} $ and $ sp^{3} $

B) $ sp^{3},dsp^{2},dsp^{3},sp^{2} $

C) $ dsp^{2},sp^{2},sp^{3},dsp^{3} $

D) $ dsp^{2},sp^{3},sp^{2},dsp^{3} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Hybridization of N in $ NH_3 $ is $ sp^{3} $ that of Pt in $ {{[PtCl_4]}^{2-}} $ is $ dsp^{2} $ that P in $ PCl_5 $ is $ sp^{3}d $ and that of B in $ BCl_3 $ is $ sp^{2} $ .
