The states of hybridization of boron and oxygen atoms in boric acid are respectively

Question

The states of hybridization of boron and oxygen atoms in boric acid are respectively (A) sp3 and sp3 (B) sp2 and sp2 (C) sp3 and sp2 (D) sp2 and sp3

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In H3BO3 ,Boron has three bonds so sp2 hybridized. Each oxygen has two bonds and two lone pair so sp3 hybridized <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="Solution" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/q/nta/c-tup33mnx34dc.png" />

Q. The states of hybridization of boron and oxygen atoms in boric acid are respectively

$s p^{3}$ and $s p^{3}$

$s p^{2}$ and $s p^{2}$

$s p^{3}$ and $s p^{2}$

$s p^{2}$ and $s p^{3}$

In $H_{3} B O_{3}$ ,Boron has three bonds so $s p^{2}$ hybridized. Each oxygen has two bonds and two lone pair so $s p^{3}$ hybridized

Q. The states of hybridization of boron and oxygen atoms in boric acid are respectively

sp3 and sp3

sp2 and sp2

sp3 and sp2

sp2 and sp3

In H3​BO3​ ,Boron has three bonds so sp2 hybridized. Each oxygen has two bonds and two lone pair so sp3 hybridized
