Question

trick to find hybridisation and shapes of molecules​

Answer 1

Answer:

sP= linear

sp2=trigonal

sp3=tetrahedral

sp3d= trigonal bypyramidal

sp3d2= octahedral

by doing transition of element present in central atom

Answer 2

Answer

You can find the hybridization of an atom by finding its steric number:

-The steric number = the number of atoms bonded to the atom + the number of lone pairs the atom has.

-If the steric number is 4, the atom is sp3 hybridized.

-If the steric number is 3, the atom is sp2 hybridized.

-If the steric number is 2, the atom is sp hybridized.
