Question

if AX3 molecule is polar and planar then possible hybridisation state is?​

Answer 1

answer is sp3d bcoz for a molecule AX3 to be polar their should be presence of a lone pair over it as shown in pic -

Answer 2

AX₃ molecule hybridization state is sp³.

• The hybridization of a molecule tells about the shape and geometry of the molecule.
• It is calculated as follows-

        H = number of bonded atoms + number of lone pairs

        H = BP + LP

• In AX₃ , bonded atoms are three i.e. 3 X atoms attached to A.
• As the molecule is polar in nature, that means it has a lone pair of electrons in its structure.
• therefore, H = 3 + 1 = 4
• Hybridization, H =4 corresponds to sp³state as the molecule is polar and planer.
