The correct Answer is:
To determine in which case the hybridization of the central atom is affected, we will analyze the hybridization of the central atom in the given compounds: NH3 and NH4+, and AlH3 and AlH4+. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Central Atom**: - For NH3 (Ammonia), the central atom is Nitrogen (N). - For NH4+ (Ammonium ion), the central atom is also Nitrogen (N). - For AlH3 (Aluminum Hydride), the central atom is Aluminum (Al). - For AlH4+ (Tetrahydroaluminate ion), the central atom is also Aluminum (Al). 2. **Determine the Valency of the Central Atom**: - **For Nitrogen (N)**: - Atomic number = 7 - Electronic configuration = 1s² 2s² 2p³ - Valency = 5 (since it can form 3 bonds with hydrogen and has 2 lone pairs). - **For Aluminum (Al)**: - Atomic number = 13 - Electronic configuration = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹ - Valency = 3 (since it can form 3 bonds with hydrogen). 3. **Calculate Hybridization Using the Formula**: - The formula for hybridization is: \[ \text{Hybridization} = \frac{1}{2} (B + M - C + A) \] where: - B = Valency - M = Monovalent atoms (number of hydrogen atoms) - C = Cation charge - A = Anion charge 4. **Calculate Hybridization for NH3**: - B = 5 (valency of N) - M = 3 (3 hydrogen atoms) - C = 0 (no cation) - A = 0 (no anion) - Hybridization = \( \frac{1}{2} (5 + 3 - 0 + 0) = \frac{1}{2} (8) = 4 \) → sp³ hybridization. 5. **Calculate Hybridization for NH4+**: - B = 5 (valency of N) - M = 4 (4 hydrogen atoms) - C = 1 (cation charge of +1) - A = 0 (no anion) - Hybridization = \( \frac{1}{2} (5 + 4 - 1 + 0) = \frac{1}{2} (8) = 4 \) → sp³ hybridization. 6. **Calculate Hybridization for AlH3**: - B = 3 (valency of Al) - M = 3 (3 hydrogen atoms) - C = 0 (no cation) - A = 0 (no anion) - Hybridization = \( \frac{1}{2} (3 + 3 - 0 + 0) = \frac{1}{2} (6) = 3 \) → sp² hybridization. 7. **Calculate Hybridization for AlH4+**: - B = 3 (valency of Al) - M = 4 (4 hydrogen atoms) - C = 1 (cation charge of +1) - A = 0 (no anion) - Hybridization = \( \frac{1}{2} (3 + 4 - 1 + 0) = \frac{1}{2} (6) = 3 \) → sp² hybridization. 8. **Conclusion**: - For NH3 and NH4+, the hybridization remains sp³. - For AlH3 and AlH4+, the hybridization remains sp². - Therefore, the hybridization of the central atom is not affected in either case. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **Option 4: None Case**.
