Question

The state of hybridization of the central atom and the number of lone pairs over the central atom in $POC{l}_3$ are :

• A. $sp,0$
• B. $s{p}^2,0$
• C. $s{p}^3,0$
• D. $ds{p}^2,1$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $s{p}^3,0$

4 $\sigma$ bonds are present without any lone pair of electrons. so $s{p}^3$ hybridisation.
