Question

Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct?

• A. $Cl{F}_3$, has a hybridisation of $s{p}^{3}d$
• B. $S{O}_3^{2-}$ has a hybridisation of $s{p}^3$
• C. $S{O}_{2}C{l}_2$ has hybridisation of $s{p}^3$
• D. $Cl{O}_2^{-}$ has a hybridization of $s{p}^{3}d$

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A $Cl{F}_3$, has a hybridisation of $s{p}^{3}d$
B $S{O}_3^{2-}$ has a hybridisation of $s{p}^3$
C $S{O}_{2}C{l}_2$ has hybridisation of $s{p}^3$

In option (a), the central atom Cl has 7 valence electrons, it bonds with 3 F atoms so it has 3 bond pair and 2 lone pair of electron. It will have a hybridisation of $s{p}^{3}d$ and shape of trigonal bipyramidal

In option (b), Sulphur be the central atom in $S{O}_3^{2-}$ forming one double bonds with oxygen so it has trigonal planar geometry having a hybriddisation of $s{p}^3$



In option (c), S will have a hybridisation of $s{p}^3$ and a tetrahedral structure.

In option (d), it has 2 lone pair and 2 bond pair so it will have a hybridisation of $s{p}^3$
