Question

Statement - 1 : The Hybridisation of H2O is sp3

.

Statement - 2 : The Hybridisation of NH3

is sp3

​

Answer 1

Answer:

BOTH THE STATEMENTS  ARE CORRECT.

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.
• In ammonia, there are 4 electron pairs that all are behaving relatively the same. That is why each pair occupies an orbital that is the average of the available 3 p and 1 s orbitals in the outermost shell. This we've called sp3 hybridization.
