Question

How to find hybridisation of sulphur in sulphate ion?

Answer 1

The Hybridization of given molecules is given below :-

1>  ion = 

Reason - Since from the structure of it is clear that it has 4 sigma bonds with tetrahedrally arranged atoms , and as we know if there is 4 sigma bond the hybridization is

2>  = 

Reason - Since from the structure of  it is clear that it has 2 sigma bonds with linearly arranged atoms , and as we know if there is 2 sigma bond the hybridization.
