005. Explain hybridization in following molecules.
1) BeF2
2) BF3

3) CH4
4) NH3
5) H2O
6) CH3CH3​

Answer 1

Formula for calculating hybridisation is Z=1/2(no. Of valence electrons on central atom)+(-ve charge)-(+ve charge)+ no. Of monovalent atoms(eg-H,F,Cl,Br)
1)BeF2=1/2(2+2)=4/2=2 i.e sp hybridisation
2) BF3=sp2
3)CH4=Sp3
4)NH3=sp3
5)H2O=sp3
6)Ch3Ch3=sp3
