QUESTION:

Problem 1P

What type of central-atom orbital hybridization corresponds to each electron-group arrangement:

(a) trigonal planar;

(b) octahedral;

(c) linear;

(d) tetrahedral;

(e) trigonal bipyramidal?

ANSWER:

Solution 1P

Here we have to write the type of central-atom orbital hybridization corresponds to each electron-group arrangement given below:

Step 1

(a) trigonal planar

Trigonal planar is a specific geometry shown by AB2 type molecule, in which a central atom A is surrounded by two ‘B’ atoms. When the central atom is surrounded by two bond pairs it will show the hybridization sp2.

Thus according to the trigonal planar electron group arrangement, the hybridization of the central atom is sp2.
