Here some molecules are given :(1) What type of hybridisations takes place in the above molecules ? (2) How many sigma bonds are formed in the above molecules ? What are they ? (3) Write the bond angles of the above molecules. (4) Which molecule has an empty orbital ?

Answer»

(1) sp hybridisation – BeCl

sp2 hybridisation – BF3 

sp3 hybridisation – NH3 

sp3 hybridisation – H2O

(2) i) BeCl2 → Two sigma (σ) bonds

→ σp – sp and σ sp – p 

(ii) BF3 → Three sigma bonds

→ σp – sp2 and σp – sp2 and σ sp2 – p

(iii)NH3 → Three sigma bonds 

→ σs – sp3 , σs – sp3 and σ sp3 – s

(iv)H2O → Two sigma bonds

→ σs – sp3 and σ sp3 – s

(3) BeCl2 → 180° 

BF3 → 120°

NH3 → 107°48'

H2O → 104°31'

(4) BF3 has an empty orbital.
