Question

Which one of the following is a correct set?
1)H2O,sp³,angular
2)H2O,sp²,linear
3)NH4+,dsp²,square planar
4)CH4,dsp²,tetrahedral

Answer 1

Answer:

1.) H2O, sp3, angular is the right answer

Answer 2

Option 1) is correct that H2O, is having sp³ hybridization and angular geometry

Explanation:

Option 1) $H2O$ ,$sp3$ ,angular  is an correct option

Here the Molecular Formula is$H2O$

Hybridization Type-$sp3$

Bond Angle - $104.5$

Geometry-Angular or V-shaped

H2O has a tetrahedral arrangement of molecules or an angular geometry. This is mainly because the repulsion from the lone pair combination is more than bond-pair repulsion

Option 2) H2O,sp², linear is an incorrect option as the shape is already explained in option 1

Option 3) NH4+,dsp², square planar is an incorrect option

NH3 is the chemical formula of Ammonia. Here positively charged polyatomic ion of Ammonium or NH4+ is given

When an Ammonia atom goes through the process of protonation, it will loses one of its electrons and becomes positively charged ion .

The geometrical structure of ammonium, NH4+ is referred to as Tetrahedral. Nitrogen, having 5 valence shell electrons, along with 4 from Hydrogen, should have had 9 electrons.

Option 4)CH4,dsp², tetrahedral is an incorrect option here the hybridization is not correct

Methane is one of the simple molecule, with a chemical formula of CH4 and comprises one carbon atom forming bonds with four hydrogen atoms.

No of Valence Electrons in the methane molecule is 8

Hybridization of CH4 is sp3 hybridization

Bond Angles 109.5 degrees

Molecular Geometry of CH4 isTetrahedral
