The geometry of a complex species can be understood from the knowledge

1.	The geometry of a complex species can be understood from the knowledge of type of hybridization of orbitals of central atom. The hybridization of orbitals of central atom in [Be(OH)_4]^(-)and the geometry of the complex are respectively ..........
Answer» `sp^3` , tetrahedral `sp^3`, square PLANAR `sp^3d^2` , octahedral `dsp^2` , square planar SOLUTION :In `[B(OH)_4]^-` ,Boron is surrounded by 4 bonds pair and has no lone pair. Geometry and HYBRIDIZATION of central atom is based on BOND pairs and lone pairs around the central atom. `[B(OH)_4]^(-)`is tetrahedral and Boron is `sp^3` hybridized.
