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} $ .
