Question

The hybridization of sulphur dioxide is: (A) sp (B) sp3 (C) sp2 (D) dsp2

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

SO2 H = (1/2) (V + X - C +A)( V → number of e- s in valency shell of central atom) H = (1/2) ( 6 + 0) = 3 ⇒ S is sp2 hybridized with 2 b.p. and 1 l.p.

Q. The hybridization of sulphur dioxide is:

$s p$

$s p^{3}$

$s p^{2}$

$d s p^{2}$

$S O_{2}$
$H = \frac{1}{2} (V + X - C + A) (V \to$ number of $e^{-} s$ in valency shell of central atom)
$H = \frac{1}{2} (6 + 0) = 3$
$\Rightarrow S$ is $s p^{2}$ hybridized with $2 b . p .$ and $1 l . p .$
