The correct Answer is:
To determine the incorrect combination of hybridization and molecular shape for the given compounds, we will analyze each molecule step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze SO3 (Sulfur Trioxide) - **Hybridization**: The central atom sulfur in SO3 is sp² hybridized. - **Shape**: The shape of SO3 is trigonal planar due to the arrangement of three bonding pairs and no lone pairs on sulfur. ### Step 2: Analyze SO2 (Sulfur Dioxide) - **Hybridization**: The central atom sulfur in SO2 is also sp² hybridized. - **Shape**: The shape of SO2 is bent or V-shaped due to one lone pair and two bonding pairs on sulfur. ### Step 3: Analyze H2SO4 (Sulfuric Acid) - **Hybridization**: The central atom sulfur in H2SO4 is sp³ hybridized. - **Shape**: The shape of H2SO4 is tetrahedral due to four bonding pairs (two from the hydroxyl groups and two from the double bonds to oxygen). ### Step 4: Analyze O3 (Ozone) - **Hybridization**: The central atom in O3 is sp² hybridized. - **Shape**: The shape of O3 is angular or bent due to one lone pair and two bonding pairs. ### Conclusion Now, let's summarize the findings: - SO3: sp² hybridized, trigonal planar (Correct) - SO2: sp² hybridized, bent (Correct) - H2SO4: sp³ hybridized, tetrahedral (Correct) - O3: sp² hybridized, bent (Correct) However, the statement regarding H2SO4 is incorrect in the context provided in the video. The hybridization is stated as sp² with a V-shape, which is incorrect. H2SO4 is indeed sp³ hybridized with a tetrahedral shape. ### Final Answer The incorrect combination is: - H2SO4: sp² hybridized, V-shape (It should be sp³ hybridized, tetrahedral).

To determine the incorrect combination of hybridization and molecular shape for the given compounds, we will analyze each molecule step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze SO3 (Sulfur Trioxide) - **Hybridization**: The central atom sulfur in SO3 is sp² hybridized. - **Shape**: The shape of SO3 is trigonal planar due to the arrangement of three bonding pairs and no lone pairs on sulfur. ### Step 2: Analyze SO2 (Sulfur Dioxide) - **Hybridization**: The central atom sulfur in SO2 is also sp² hybridized. ...
