The correct Answer is:
To determine in which reaction the hybridization of the underlined atom changes, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the first reaction (Xenon Tetrafluoride with Antimony Pentafluoride) 1. **Identify the reactants**: Xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4) and Antimony pentafluoride (SbF5). 2. **Determine the hybridization of Xenon in XeF4**: - Valence electrons of Xenon = 8 (group 18 element). - Number of monovalent fluorine atoms = 4. - Steric number = (8 + 4) / 2 = 12 / 2 = 6. - Hybridization = sp³d². 3. **Determine the hybridization of Xenon in the product (XeF3⁺)**: - After losing one fluorine, the effective valence electrons = 8 - 1 = 7. - Number of monovalent fluorine atoms = 3. - Steric number = (7 + 3) / 2 = 10 / 2 = 5. - Hybridization = sp³d. 4. **Conclusion**: The hybridization of Xenon changes from sp³d² to sp³d. ### Step 2: Analyze the second reaction (H3PO2 dissociating to H2PO2⁻) 1. **Identify the reactants**: H3PO2 dissociates to H2PO2⁻. 2. **Determine the hybridization of Phosphorus in H3PO2**: - Valence electrons of Phosphorus = 5. - Number of monovalent atoms (3 Hydrogens) = 3. - Steric number = (5 + 3) / 2 = 8 / 2 = 4. - Hybridization = sp³. 3. **Determine the hybridization of Phosphorus in H2PO2⁻**: - Valence electrons = 5. - Number of monovalent atoms (2 Hydrogens and 1 negative charge) = 3. - Steric number = (5 + 3) / 2 = 8 / 2 = 4. - Hybridization = sp³. 4. **Conclusion**: The hybridization of Phosphorus remains sp³ in both cases. ### Step 3: Analyze the third reaction (H2SO4 reacting to form Sodium Sulphate and HCl) 1. **Identify the reactants**: H2SO4 and the products Sodium Sulphate and HCl. 2. **Determine the hybridization of Sulfur in H2SO4**: - Valence electrons of Sulfur = 6. - Number of monovalent atoms (4 Oxygens) = 4. - Steric number = (6 + 4) / 2 = 10 / 2 = 5. - Hybridization = sp³d. 3. **Determine the hybridization of Sulfur in the product**: - The structure of Sodium Sulphate does not change the hybridization of Sulfur. - It remains sp³d. 4. **Conclusion**: The hybridization of Sulfur does not change. ### Step 4: Analyze the fourth reaction (Ammonia reacting with BF3) 1. **Identify the reactants**: Ammonia (NH3) and Boron trifluoride (BF3). 2. **Determine the hybridization of Nitrogen in NH3**: - Valence electrons of Nitrogen = 5. - Number of monovalent atoms (3 Hydrogens) = 3. - Steric number = (5 + 3) / 2 = 8 / 2 = 4. - Hybridization = sp³. 3. **Determine the hybridization of Boron in BF3**: - Valence electrons of Boron = 3. - Number of monovalent atoms (3 Fluorines) = 3. - Steric number = (3 + 3) / 2 = 6 / 2 = 3. - Hybridization = sp². 4. **Conclusion**: The hybridization of Nitrogen remains sp³, and that of Boron remains sp². ### Final Conclusion: The only reaction where the hybridization of the underlined atom changes is in the first option (Xenon in XeF4 reacting with SbF5).
