Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 248
Question: The hybrid state of sulphur in $ SO_3 $ molecule is [DCE 2004]
Options:
A) $ sp^{3}d $
B) $ sp^{3} $
C) $ sp^{3}d^{2} $
D) $ sp^{2} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
In $ SO_3 $ molecule, S atom remains $ sp^{2} $ hybrid, hence it has trigonal planar structure
