The type of hybrid orbitals used by the chlorine atom in `CIO_(2^(-))` is

A

`sp^(3)`

B

`sp^(2)`

C

`sp`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

In `CIO_(2)^(-)`
`H = (1)/(2) (7+1) = 4 implies CI is sp^(3)` hybridized with `2` bond pair and `2` lone pair electrons.
