Sulphur trioxide is dissolved in heavy water to form a compound X. The hybridisation state of sulphur X is

Options

A. `sp^(2)`
B. `sp^(3)`
C. `sp`
D. `dsp^(2)`

Answer

B

Explanation

When sulphur trioxide is dissolved in heavy water the following reaction occurs.
`SO_(3)+D_(2)O to underset((X))(D_(2)SO_(4))`
In `D_(2)SO_(4)`, sulphur atom is `sp^(3)`-hybridised.
