Question

Write hybridization and geometry of
a)$\dot{C}l{O}_3$ b) $\dot{C}{F}_3$

Answer 1

Hybridisation and geometry of a)$\stackrel{\bullet }{C}l{O}_3$ b)$\stackrel{\bullet }{C}{F}_3$

This are odd electron molecule.

Concept of surrounding atoms have more electronegativity than central atom then,odd electron is counted for hybridisation.

(b)$\stackrel{\bullet }{C}{F}_3$

Here hybradisation -$s{p}^3$

Geometry-tetrahedral

(a)$\stackrel{\bullet }{C}l{O}_3$

The surrounding oxygen is more electronegative than chloride.

So,Hybridisation$:s{p}^3$

Shape:Tetrahedral.
