The hybridisation of phosphorus in POCl3...

The hybridisation of phosphorus in `POCl_3` is the same as

A

P in `PCl_3`

B

S in `SF_4`

C

Cl in `ClF_3`

D

B in `BCl_3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
P in `POCl_3` is `sp^3` hybridised
i.e., H=`1/2[5+3]=4`
P in `PCl_3` is also `sp^3` hybridised
i.e., H=`1/2[5+3]=4`
