Question

In $\text{O}{\text{F}}_{\text{2}}$ oxygen hybridisation of

• A. sp
• B. $\text{s}{\text{p}}^{\text{2}}$
• C. $\text{s}{\text{p}}^{\text{3}}$
• D. none of these

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$\text{s}{\text{p}}^{\text{3}}$

In $O{F}_2$​, oxygen has $2$ bond pairs and $2$ lone pairs, and hence hybridization is $s{p}^3$. Hence, option C is correct.
