Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 418

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},sp^{3}d,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:

  • Hybridisation in $ NH_3=sp^{3} $ , $ {{[PtCl_4]}^{2-}}=dsp^{2} $ (inner complex); $ PCl_5=sp^{3}d $ and $ BCl_3 $ is $ sp^{2} $ .
