Answer:
THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION IS OPTION (2) sp³-2p
Explanation:
Definition: Hybridisation is the phenomenon of mixing of 2 or more orbitals to produce resultant hybrid orbitals which possess the properties of all both the parent orbitals and the resultant hybrid orbitals are similar in size,shape and properties.
Analyzing each atom
Starting with the oxygen atom
- It has 2 lone pairs and two bond pairs ( bond pairs with oxygen )
- The 2s and 2p orbitals of the oxygen atoms merge to form 4 sp³ hybridised orbitals
- Two of these hybrid orbitals are used by the lone pairs and two of them are used by the bonds for fluorine
Analysing the fluorine atom
- The 2p orbitals of each of the fluorine atoms have bonds with the two sp³ hybrid orbitals of oxygen atoms.
