Question

hybridsation of 'O'in H2O​

Answer 1

Explanation:

H2O has 2(1) + 6 = 8 valence electrons. H2O has a tetrahedral arrangement of the electron pairs about the O atom that requires sp3 hybridization. Two of the four sp3 hybrid orbitals are used to form bonds to the two hydrogen atoms, and the other two sp3 hybrid orbitals hold the two lone pairs on oxygen.

Answer 2

Answer:

Oxygen is sp3 hybridised in H2O molecule. Two hybrid orbitals are occupied by lone pairs and two are used in bonding with Hydrogen atoms. Since lone pairs does not contribute to the geometry of a molecule, therefore H2O has an angular geometry.
