Question

State True or False.

Hybridisation of sulphur in $S{O}_2$ is $sp$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Hybridization of sulfur in $S{O}_2$ is $s{p}^2$.

In sulfur atom one s orbital and two p orbitals undergo hybridization to form three $s{p}^2$ hybridized orbitals. Then these hybridized orbitals combine with two oxygen atoms to form $S{O}_2$ molecule.

So Statement is false.

So answer is B.
