The correct option is D BCl3
H=12[V+M−C+A]
where,
H= Number of orbitals involved in hybridization.
V=Valence electrons of central atom.
M- Number of monovalent atoms linked to central atom.
C= Charge of cation.
A= Charge of anion.
Now consider the options
A) NH3
H=12[5+3]=4.
⇒sp3 hybridized state .
Trigonal Pyramid in shape.
B) H3O+
H=12[6+3−1]=4.
⇒sp3 hybridized state .
Tetrahedral in shape.
C) BCl3
H=12[3+3]=3.
⇒sp2 hybridized state .
Trigonal Planar in shape.
D) PCl3
H=12[5+3]=4.
⇒sp3 hybridized state .
Trigonal Pyramid in shape.
Hence option C is the right answer.
