Which of the following has sp3 -hybridisation?
BCl3
PCl3
BeCl3
None of these
B.
PCl3
Among all the given options, PCl3 has sp3 hybridization. It is due to the presence of one lone pair, it is pyrimidal in geometry. (Inspite of being tetrahedral).
(lps + - bps = 1 + 3 = 4)
Pick out the incorrect statement from the following :
sp hybrid orbitals are equivalent and are at an angle of 180° with each other
sp2 hybrid orbitals are equivalent and bond angle between any two of them is 120°
sp3d2 hybrid orbitals are equivalent and are oriented towards corners of a regular octahedron
dsp2 hybrid orbitals are equivalent with a bond angle of 90° between the two atoms
