Tetrahedral is the shape of sulphate ion.
Explanation:
- Sulphate ion is the maximum oxidised state of sulphur where the oxidation state of sulphur is +6.
- Sulphate has two oxygen atoms which are directly bonded to sulphur by means of double bonds.
- The other two atoms of oxygen are bonded with sulphur by means of single bonds.
- The hybridization of sulphur in sulphate is sp3.
- So three p orbitals and one s orbital of sulphur hybridises to form 4 sp3 hybrid orbitals.
- The hybrid orbitals are at the angle of 104.8 °s to each other, which forms tetrahedral structure.
