“Hybridization is defined as the process of intermixing of the orbitals of slightly different energies so as to redistribute their energies, resulting in the formation of a new set of orbitals of equivalent energies and shape.”
Step 2: Formula used for calculation:
Where V is the number of valence electrons, M is the monovalent electron, C is the positive charge and A represents the negative charge.
Step 3: Calculation for Hybridisation and shape of :
The total number of valence electrons of S in is 6 and there are 2 monovalent atoms.
The steric number is 4, thus the hybridization of is .
As per VSEPR, the shape of is V-shaped.
Shape of :
Sulfur dichloride has a molecular formula .
The geometry of is V-shaped or bent shape geometry.
Due to the asymmetric geometrical shape and unequal electronegativity of atoms, the molecule is polar.
