Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 18
Question 18 - 2024 (31 Jan Shift 1)
The number of species from the following in which the central atom uses $sp^{3}$ hybrid orbitals in its bonding is _________
$NH _3, SO _2, SiO _2, BeCl _2, CO _2, H _2 O, CH _4, BF _3$
Show Answer
Answer (4)
Solution
$NH _3 \rightarrow sp^{3}$
$SO _2 \rightarrow sp^{2}$
$SiO _2 \rightarrow sp^{3}$
$BeCl _2 \rightarrow sp$
$CO _2 \rightarrow sp$
$H _2 O \rightarrow sp^{3}$
$CH _4 \rightarrow sp^{3}$
$BF _3 \rightarrow sp^{2}$
