Question

Which of the molecules listed below have an $s{p}^3$ hybridized central atom?

$\left(P\right)PC{l}_3\left(Q\right)COC{l}_2\left(R\right)S{F}_4$

• A. P only
• B. P and R only
• C. Q and R only
• D. P, Q and R

Answer 1

The correct option is A P only

The hybridisation of $P$ in $PC{l}_3$ is $s{p}^3$.
The hybridization of $C$ in $COC{l}_2$ is $s{p}^2$.

The hybridisation of $S$ in $S{F}_4$ is $s{p}^{3}d$.
