MCQ
In which of the following pairs of molecules/ ions, the central atoms have $sp^2$ hybridisation?
- A$NO_2^-$ and $NH_3$
- ✓$BF_3$ and $NO_2^-$
- C$NH_2^-$ and $H_2O$
- D$BF_3$ and $NH_2^-$
(i) $NO_{2}^- \Rightarrow 2 \sigma+1 I p=3, i .e$ $sp ^{2}$ hybridisation
(ii) $N H_{3} \Rightarrow 3 \sigma+1 I p=4, i .e$ $sp ^{3}$ hybridisation
(iii) $B F_{3} \Rightarrow 3 \sigma+0 I p=3, i .e$ $sp^2$ hybridisation
(iv) $N H_{2} \Rightarrow 2 \sigma+2 I p=4, i.e$ $sp ^{3}$ hybridisation
(i) $H_{2} O \Rightarrow 2 \sigma+2 I p=4, i.e$ $sp ^{3}$ hybridisation
Thus, among the given pairs, only $B F_{3}$ and $N O_{2}^-$, have $s p^{2}$ hybridisation.
