Question

The total sum of number of pπdπ bonds in the following molecules.
SO3,SO2,XeO4,IO3

Open in App
Solution

For SO3:

It is sp2 hybridized and three electrons are involved in π bonding out of which two are involved in pπdπ bonds.
For SO2:

It is sp2 hybridized and two electrons are involved in π bonding out of which one is involved in pπdπ bonds.
For XeO4:

It is sp3 hybridized and 4 electrons are involved in pπdπ bonds.
For IO3:

It is sp3 hybridized and three electrons are involved in pπdπ bonds.
Sum of all the pπdπ bonds =2+1+4+3=10
