Question

Consider the following molecules or ions:
(i) $ H_2O $
(ii) $ NH^{4+} $
(iii) $ S0_4^{2-} $
(iv) $ ClO_4^- $
(v) $ NH_3 $

• A. (i), (ii), (v) only
• B. (i), (ii) only
• C. (ii) only
• D. (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) only
• E. (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v)

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

All molecules or ions i.e., $ {{H}_{2}}O,NH_{4}^{+},SO_{4}^{2-}, $ $ ClO_{4}^{-} $ and $ N{{H}_{3}} $ are involved in $ s{{p}^{3}}- $ hybridization in their formation.
