The correct Answer is:
To determine in which reaction the hybridization of the underlined atom does not change, we will analyze the hybridization of the central atom in each reaction. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the reactions and the central atoms**: - The reactions provided are: 1. \( \text{BF}_3 \) forming \( \text{BF}_4^- \) 2. \( \text{NH}_3 \) forming \( \text{NF}_4^+ \) 3. \( \text{BF}_3 \) reacting with \( \text{NH}_3 \) 4. \( \text{SiF}_4 \) forming \( \text{SiF}_6^{2-} \) 2. **Calculate hybridization for each reaction**: - **For \( \text{BF}_3 \) to \( \text{BF}_4^- \)**: - Boron in \( \text{BF}_3 \): \[ \text{Hybridization} = \frac{1}{2} \left( \text{valence electrons} + \text{monovalent atoms} + \text{charge} \right) = \frac{1}{2} (3 + 3 + 0) = \frac{6}{2} = 3 \quad \text{(sp}^2\text{)} \] - Boron in \( \text{BF}_4^- \): \[ \text{Hybridization} = \frac{1}{2} (3 + 4 + 1) = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \quad \text{(sp}^3\text{)} \] - **Change in hybridization**: Yes, it changes from sp² to sp³. - **For \( \text{NH}_3 \) to \( \text{NF}_4^+ \)**: - Nitrogen in \( \text{NH}_3 \): \[ \text{Hybridization} = \frac{1}{2} (5 + 3 + 0) = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \quad \text{(sp}^3\text{)} \] - Nitrogen in \( \text{NF}_4^+ \): \[ \text{Hybridization} = \frac{1}{2} (5 + 4 - 1) = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \quad \text{(sp}^3\text{)} \] - **Change in hybridization**: No, it remains sp³. - **For \( \text{BF}_3 \) and \( \text{NH}_3 \)**: - Boron in \( \text{BF}_3 \): sp² (as calculated above). - Nitrogen in \( \text{NH}_3 \): sp³ (as calculated above). - **Change in hybridization**: Yes, both change. - **For \( \text{SiF}_4 \) to \( \text{SiF}_6^{2-} \)**: - Silicon in \( \text{SiF}_4 \): \[ \text{Hybridization} = \frac{1}{2} (4 + 4 + 0) = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \quad \text{(sp}^3\text{)} \] - Silicon in \( \text{SiF}_6^{2-} \): \[ \text{Hybridization} = \frac{1}{2} (4 + 6 + 2) = \frac{12}{2} = 6 \quad \text{(sp}^3d^2\text{)} \] - **Change in hybridization**: Yes, it changes from sp³ to sp³d². 3. **Conclusion**: - The only reaction where the hybridization of the underlined atom does not change is the conversion of \( \text{NH}_3 \) to \( \text{NF}_4^+ \), where nitrogen remains sp³ in both cases. ### Final Answer: The reaction in which the hybridization of the underlined atom does not change is \( \text{NH}_3 \) forming \( \text{NF}_4^+ \).
