Question

The correct order of hybridization of the central atom in the following species is:
$N{H}_3,[PtC{l}_4{]}^{2-},PC{l}_{5}andBC{l}_3$ is:

• A. $ds{p}^2,ds{p}^3,s{p}^{2}ands{p}^3$
• B. $s{p}^3,ds{p}^2,s{p}^{3}d,s{p}^2$
• C. $ds{p}^2,s{p}^2,s{p}^3,ds{p}^3$
• D. $ds{p}^2,s{p}^3,s{p}^2,ds{p}^3$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $s{p}^3,ds{p}^2,s{p}^{3}d,s{p}^2$

$N{H}_3-s{p}^3$ hybridised
$[PtC{l}_4{]}^{2-}-ds{p}^2$ hybridised
$PC{l}_5-s{p}^{3}d$ hybridised
$BC{l}_3-s{p}^2$ hydridised
