Answer to Question #125549 in General Chemistry for zanzo

Question

in which molecule does the central atom sp2 hybridized

Answer 1

Hybridization of a central atom in a compound can be calculated by sum of sigma bond and lone pair.

This no. Is strictly no.

If value of Steric no. comes 2 then sp

If 3 then Sp²

If 4 then Sp³

If 5 then Sp³d

If 6 then Sp³d²

If 7 then Sp³d³

So if you taken BCl₃

Then it's hybridization will be Sp²

Many other compounds which are having Sp²

AlCl₃

BF₃

BBr₃

CH₃⁺.....
