Question

The hybrid state of S in SO₃ is similar to that of
(a) C in C₂H₂
(b) C in C₂H₄
(c) C in CH₄
(d) C in CO₂

Answer 1

The hybrid state of S in SO₃ is similar to that of C in C₂H₄.

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

• A description of the hybridization of SO  3  including sigma and pi bonds.
• The SO  3  hybridization is SP^2  for the central sulphur atom.
• The hybridization of C in C 2 H4 is SP^ 2 .
• It involves one s-orbital and two p-orbitals which mix up to make degenerate hybridized orbitals known as sp^2 hybridized orbitals.
• This phenomenon is known as hybridization.

Thus hybrid state of S in SO₃ is similar to that of C in C₂H₄.
