Answer:
sp² hybridization is present on 'S' in both SO₂ and SO₃ molecules
respectively.
Explanation:
CASE A: Sulfur dioxide(SO₂)
- The hybridization that occurs in sulfur dioxide is of the sp² kind.
- We'll start by examining the core sulfur atom to make this determination.
- This center atom bonds with two oxygen atoms to create SO₂, and their structure is denoted by the formula O=S=O.
- Regarding the bonds, sulfur and the two oxygen atoms create one sigma bond and one pi bond. The atom can also hold one single pair.
CASE B: Sulfur trioxide(SO₃)
- Sulfur, the main atom in SO₃, will form three double bonds with oxygen.
- The sp² orbitals on sulfur and oxygen form a single bond known as the sigma bond.
- Sulfur's empty p orbital and oxygen's empty p orbital combine to form the double bond.
