make structure of hybridization of SO3
Answers
Explanation:
A detailed description of the hybridization of SO3 is provided on this page along with its molecular geometry. SO3 has an sp2 type of hybridization. We will understand how the molecule obtains such hybridized state below.
Name of the Molecule Sulphur Trioxide
Molecular Formula SO3
Hybridization Type sp2
Bond Angle 120o
Geometry Trigonal Planar
What is the Hybridization of Sulphur Trioxide?
SO3 is a combination of two elements one Sulphur and three Oxygen atoms. To understand the hybridization of sulphur trioxide we have to understand the bonding between sulphur and oxygen. If we draw and look at the Lewis structure sulphur will be the central atom and will have three double bonds with oxygen. In this, there is one sigma and one pi bond formed. This gives us the sp2 hybridization type.
Hybridization Of SO3
We can also say that during bonding the d orbitals on the sulphur atom will overlap with p orbitals of the oxygen atoms. Meanwhile, during hybridization, the one s and two p orbitals are hybridized where one of the sets of electrons is a nonbonding lone pair.
Important Points To Remember
In SO3 sulphur will be the central atom and will have three double bonds with oxygen.
The sigma bond (single bond) is between the sp2 orbital on Sulphur and another sp2 on Oxygen.
The double bond is created between empty p orbital of Sulphur and an empty p orbital of Oxygen.
SO3 Molecular Geometry And Bond Angles
SO3 Molecular Geometry
If we look at the SO3 molecular geometry it is trigonal planar with symmetric charge distribution around the central atom. Sulphur trioxide is also non-polar. It has a bond angle of 120o.
