The state of hybridisation of the central atom and the number of lone pairs over the central atom in `POCl_3` are

A

`sp,0`

B

`sp^(2),0`

C

`sp^(3),0`

D

`dsp^(2),1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Geometrical shape of `POCl_(3)` molecule is tetrahedral. In `POCl_(3)` central P-atom is `sp^(3)` hybridised and have no lone pair.
