The correct Answer is:
To determine which pair of chemical species contains ions with the same hybridization of their central atoms, we will analyze the hybridization of each species mentioned in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Chemical Species:** We have the following pairs of ions: - Pair 1: NO2⁻ and NH2⁻ - Pair 2: NO2⁻ and NO3⁻ - Pair 3: NH4⁺ and NO3⁻ - Pair 4: SCN⁻ and NH2⁻ 2. **Calculate Hybridization for Each Ion:** The formula for hybridization is: \[ \text{Hybridization} = \frac{\text{Valence Electrons of Central Atom} + \text{Number of Monovalent Atoms} + \text{Charge}}{2} \] **Pair 1: NO2⁻ and NH2⁻** - **NO2⁻:** - Valence electrons of N = 5 - Number of O atoms (monovalent) = 2 - Charge = -1 \[ \text{Hybridization} = \frac{5 + 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \quad \text{(sp³)} \] - **NH2⁻:** - Valence electrons of N = 5 - Number of H atoms (monovalent) = 2 - Charge = -1 \[ \text{Hybridization} = \frac{5 + 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \quad \text{(sp³)} \] **Pair 2: NO2⁻ and NO3⁻** - **NO2⁻:** (calculated above) - Hybridization = sp³ - **NO3⁻:** - Valence electrons of N = 5 - Number of O atoms (monovalent) = 3 - Charge = -1 \[ \text{Hybridization} = \frac{5 + 3 + 1}{2} = \frac{9}{2} = 4.5 \quad \text{(sp²)} \] **Pair 3: NH4⁺ and NO3⁻** - **NH4⁺:** - Valence electrons of N = 5 - Number of H atoms (monovalent) = 4 - Charge = +1 \[ \text{Hybridization} = \frac{5 + 4 - 1}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \quad \text{(sp³)} \] - **NO3⁻:** (calculated above) - Hybridization = sp² **Pair 4: SCN⁻ and NH2⁻** - **SCN⁻:** - Valence electrons of C = 4 - Number of S atoms = 1 - Number of N atoms = 1 - Charge = -1 \[ \text{Hybridization} = \frac{4 + 1 + 1}{2} = \frac{6}{2} = 3 \quad \text{(sp²)} \] - **NH2⁻:** (calculated above) - Hybridization = sp³ 3. **Compare Hybridizations:** - Pair 1: NO2⁻ (sp³) and NH2⁻ (sp³) - Same hybridization - Pair 2: NO2⁻ (sp³) and NO3⁻ (sp²) - Different hybridization - Pair 3: NH4⁺ (sp³) and NO3⁻ (sp²) - Different hybridization - Pair 4: SCN⁻ (sp²) and NH2⁻ (sp³) - Different hybridization ### Conclusion: The pair of chemical species that contains ions with the same hybridization of the central atoms is **NO2⁻ and NH2⁻**, both having sp³ hybridization.
