which type of hybridisation in sulphur trioxide ?

Answers

Answered by smartcow1

SO2, commonly known as sulfur dioxide, has an sp3 hybridization. The molecular geometry of sulfur dioxide consists of two oxygen atoms bonded to the central sulfur atom.

smartcow1: can you please thank like 10 of my answers please...

smartcow1: i need it

smartcow1: are you there?

dk123: it's not so2 , this is SO3

smartcow1: it is?

smartcow1: yeah it is, i read the question wrong, sorry

dk123: this is sulphur trioxide not dioxide

Hello!!

Sp2 hybridization.

We only have to find out the Steric number.

Steric number: Number of atoms bonded + lone pairs of electrons.

Its steric number is 3, it’s sp2 hybridization

hope it helps!!

dk123: okk i will wait...

MacTavish343: it has 2 lone pairs

dk123: no it's not correct

MacTavish343: see the configuration of sulphur

MacTavish343: after donating electrons

MacTavish343: bro!

dk123: yeah is sulphur have 6 valence electrons and 3 oxygen surrounded

dk123: according to me three double bond or two double bond and one co-ordinate bond may be

dk123: in case no lone pair in sulphur

MacTavish343: bro plz inbox
