Question

very short ans... 1) what is hybridisation of A1 in Akl3.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The hybridization of Al atom changes from sp

2

in AlCl

3

to sp

3

in AlCl

4

−

.

In AlCl

3

, Al contains 3 bond pairs of electrons and zero lone pair of electrons.

Hence, it is sp

2

hybridized. In AlCl

4

−

, Al atom contains 4 bond pairs of electrons and zero lone pairs of electrons.

Hence, it is sp

3

hybridized.
