If molecule MX3 has zero dipole moment, ...

If molecule `MX_3` has zero dipole moment, the sigma bonding orbitals used by M (atomic number `lt2l`) are

A

pure p

B

sp hybrid

C

`sp^2` hybrid

D

`sp^3` hybrid

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Zero dipole moment of `MX_3` implies that it has trigonal planar geometry which can be correlated to `sp^2` hybridization.
