Question

In which of the following molecules, the type of hybridization changes when (A) NH3 combines with H+ (B) AlH3 combines H- (C) in both cases (D) in none of the above

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In NH3, the hybridisation of N is sp3. In NH4+, the hybridisation remains sp3. In AlH3, the hybridisation of Al is sp2. And, in AlH4-, it becomes sp3.

Q. In which of the following molecules, the type of hybridization changes when

$N H_{3}$ combines with $H^{+}$

$A l H_{3}$ combines $H^{-}$

in both cases

in none of the above

In $N H_{3}$ , the hybridisation of $N$ is $s p^{3}$ . In $N H_{4}^{+}$ , the hybridisation remains $s p^{3}$ . In $A l H_{3}$ , the hybridisation of $A l$ is $s p^{2}$ . And, in $A l H_{4}^{-}$ , it becomes $s p^{3}$ .

Q. In which of the following molecules, the type of hybridization changes when

NH3​ combines with H+

AlH3​ combines H−

in both cases

in none of the above

In NH3​, the hybridisation of N is sp3. In NH4+​, the hybridisation remains sp3. In AlH3​, the hybridisation of Al is sp2. And, in AlH4−​, it becomes sp3.

$N H_{3}$ combines with $H^{+}$

$A l H_{3}$ combines $H^{-}$

In $N H_{3}$ , the hybridisation of $N$ is $s p^{3}$ . In $N H_{4}^{+}$ , the hybridisation remains $s p^{3}$ . In $A l H_{3}$ , the hybridisation of $A l$ is $s p^{2}$ . And, in $A l H_{4}^{-}$ , it becomes $s p^{3}$ .
