Question

Question 1 1 pts In which species can we describe the central atom as having sp hybridization? Select ALL that apply. PH4 PH3 NH3 BeF2

Answer 1

PHu → central atom P → [Ne] 38 353 p → [ne] 35 36 excitation D 7190 sp3 4 bond bairs with H Tetrahedral structure 109.5 Bond angle hybridization - PH₂ central atom P (Ne] 33² 33 one lone рашу e 3 bond bair with H 36 sp3 hybridization same as above

For NH₃ central atom N [he] 25² 263 25 26 one lone paint 3 bond pairs 36 56² hybridization For Be F2 central atombe 152 25 ²26 only two bond bairs with so it can't have sp hybridization Aften erecitation () 25 ß sb hybridized 2
