The correct Answer is:
To determine the hybridization of the central atom in the compounds BF₃, NH₃, H₂O, SF₄, and BeCl₂, we will analyze each compound step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze BF₃ (Boron Trifluoride) - **Valence Electrons**: Boron (B) has 3 valence electrons, and each Fluorine (F) has 7 valence electrons. - **Bonding**: Boron forms 3 bonds with 3 Fluorine atoms, using all its valence electrons. - **Lone Pairs**: There are 0 lone pairs on Boron. - **Steric Number**: 3 (3 bond pairs + 0 lone pairs). - **Hybridization**: The hybridization is **sp²**. ### Step 2: Analyze NH₃ (Ammonia) - **Valence Electrons**: Nitrogen (N) has 5 valence electrons, and each Hydrogen (H) has 1 valence electron. - **Bonding**: Nitrogen forms 3 bonds with 3 Hydrogen atoms, using 3 of its valence electrons. - **Lone Pairs**: There is 1 lone pair on Nitrogen. - **Steric Number**: 4 (3 bond pairs + 1 lone pair). - **Hybridization**: The hybridization is **sp³**. ### Step 3: Analyze H₂O (Water) - **Valence Electrons**: Oxygen (O) has 6 valence electrons, and each Hydrogen (H) has 1 valence electron. - **Bonding**: Oxygen forms 2 bonds with 2 Hydrogen atoms, using 2 of its valence electrons. - **Lone Pairs**: There are 2 lone pairs on Oxygen. - **Steric Number**: 4 (2 bond pairs + 2 lone pairs). - **Hybridization**: The hybridization is **sp³**. ### Step 4: Analyze SF₄ (Sulfur Tetrafluoride) - **Valence Electrons**: Sulfur (S) has 6 valence electrons, and each Fluorine (F) has 7 valence electrons. - **Bonding**: Sulfur forms 4 bonds with 4 Fluorine atoms, using 4 of its valence electrons. - **Lone Pairs**: There is 1 lone pair on Sulfur. - **Steric Number**: 5 (4 bond pairs + 1 lone pair). - **Hybridization**: The hybridization is **sp³d**. ### Step 5: Analyze BeCl₂ (Beryllium Chloride) - **Valence Electrons**: Beryllium (Be) has 2 valence electrons, and each Chlorine (Cl) has 7 valence electrons. - **Bonding**: Beryllium forms 2 bonds with 2 Chlorine atoms, using both of its valence electrons. - **Lone Pairs**: There are 0 lone pairs on Beryllium. - **Steric Number**: 2 (2 bond pairs + 0 lone pairs). - **Hybridization**: The hybridization is **sp**. ### Summary of Hybridizations: - BF₃: sp² - NH₃: sp³ - H₂O: sp³ - SF₄: sp³d - BeCl₂: sp ### Conclusion: The compounds NH₃ and H₂O have the same type of hybridization, which is **sp³**.
