Question

What is the hybridisation of boron and nitrogen in borazine?

• A. Both $s{p}^3$
• B. $N$ is $s{p}^3$ and $B$ is $s{p}^2$ hybridized
• C. Both $s{p}^2$
• D. $N$ is $s{p}^2$ and $B$ is $s{p}^2$ hybridized

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both $s{p}^2$

Borozine$\left(B{H}_{3}N{H}_3\right)$

In this compound, it has three alternating units each of B-H and N-H. So each Nitrogen and Boron have $s{p}^2$ hybridization.

Correct option is $C$.

Both $s{p}^2$.
