The states of hybridisation of boron and oxygen atoms in boric acid `(H_3 BO_3)` are respecitivelty :

A

`sp^2 and sp^2`

B

`sp^3 and sp^3`

C

`sp^3 and sp^2`

D

`sp^2 and sp^3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In `H_3 BO_3`, the state of hybridisation of B and O are `sp^2` and `sp^3` respectively

B has no lone pairs while O has two lone pairs
