Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 449
Question: $ SF_2,SF_4 $ and $ SF_6 $ have the hybridization at sulphur atom respectively as:
Options:
A) $ sp^{2},sp^{3},sp^{2}d^{2} $
B) $ sp^{3},sp^{3},sp^{3}d^{2} $
C) $ sp^{3},sp^{3}d,sp^{3}d^{2} $
D) $ sp^{3},spd^{2},d^{2}sp^{3} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- Hybridisation:
- $ :{{\overset{\centerdot ,\centerdot }{\mathop{SF}},}_2}\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}(6+2)=4=sp^{3} $
- $ :\overset{{}}{\mathop{SF}},{ _4}\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}(6+4)=5=sp^{3}d $
- $ SF_6\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}(6+6)=6=sp^{3}d^{2} $
