Explain `Sp^(2)` hybridisation taking boron trichloride `(BCl_(3))` as an example.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Boron (5)
Electronic configuration `1-s^(2)2-s^(2) 2p^(1)`

Here one 2s and two 2p half filled orbitals undergo hybridization to give three `sp^(2)` hybrid orbitals with these hybrid orbitals. The P-orbitals of chlorine molecule overlap to form `pi` bonds.
