The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct order of hybridization of the central atom in the species \( NH_3 \), \( [PtCl_4]^{2-} \), \( PCl_5 \), and \( BCl_3 \), we will analyze each compound step by step. ### Step 1: Hybridization of \( NH_3 \) 1. **Count the valence electrons**: Nitrogen (N) has 5 valence electrons and each hydrogen (H) has 1. Therefore, for \( NH_3 \): \[ \text{Total valence electrons} = 5 + 3 \times 1 = 8 \] 2. **Determine the number of bond pairs and lone pairs**: - \( NH_3 \) has 3 bond pairs (N-H bonds) and 1 lone pair. 3. **Determine hybridization**: - The hybridization can be determined using the formula \( \text{Hybridization} = \text{Number of bond pairs} + \text{Number of lone pairs} \). - Here, \( 3 + 1 = 4 \), which corresponds to \( sp^3 \) hybridization. ### Step 2: Hybridization of \( [PtCl_4]^{2-} \) 1. **Determine the oxidation state of platinum (Pt)**: - Let the oxidation state of Pt be \( x \). The equation is: \[ x + 4(-1) = -2 \implies x = +2 \] 2. **Determine the hybridization**: - \( Pt^{2+} \) typically forms square planar complexes. For square planar geometry, the hybridization is \( dsp^2 \). ### Step 3: Hybridization of \( PCl_5 \) 1. **Count the valence electrons**: Phosphorus (P) has 5 valence electrons and each chlorine (Cl) has 7. Therefore, for \( PCl_5 \): \[ \text{Total valence electrons} = 5 + 5 \times 7 = 40 \] 2. **Determine the number of bond pairs and lone pairs**: - Using the formula \( V/8 \) (where \( V \) is total valence electrons), we get: \[ \frac{40}{8} = 5 \quad (\text{number of bond pairs}) \quad \text{and remainder} = 0 \quad (\text{lone pairs} = 0) \] 3. **Determine hybridization**: - Since there are 5 bond pairs and 0 lone pairs, the hybridization is \( sp^3d \). ### Step 4: Hybridization of \( BCl_3 \) 1. **Count the valence electrons**: Boron (B) has 3 valence electrons and each chlorine (Cl) has 7. Therefore, for \( BCl_3 \): \[ \text{Total valence electrons} = 3 + 3 \times 7 = 24 \] 2. **Determine the number of bond pairs and lone pairs**: - Using the formula \( V/8 \): \[ \frac{24}{8} = 3 \quad (\text{number of bond pairs}) \quad \text{and remainder} = 0 \quad (\text{lone pairs} = 0) \] 3. **Determine hybridization**: - Since there are 3 bond pairs and 0 lone pairs, the hybridization is \( sp^2 \). ### Summary of Hybridizations - \( NH_3 \): \( sp^3 \) - \( [PtCl_4]^{2-} \): \( dsp^2 \) - \( PCl_5 \): \( sp^3d \) - \( BCl_3 \): \( sp^2 \) ### Final Order of Hybridization The correct order of hybridization from the species is: 1. \( NH_3 \) - \( sp^3 \) 2. \( BCl_3 \) - \( sp^2 \) 3. \( [PtCl_4]^{2-} \) - \( dsp^2 \) 4. \( PCl_5 \) - \( sp^3d \) ### Answer The correct order of hybridization is: \[ sp^3 < sp^2 < dsp^2 < sp^3d \]

To determine the correct order of hybridization of the central atom in the species \( NH_3 \), \( [PtCl_4]^{2-} \), \( PCl_5 \), and \( BCl_3 \), we will analyze each compound step by step. ### Step 1: Hybridization of \( NH_3 \) 1. **Count the valence electrons**: Nitrogen (N) has 5 valence electrons and each hydrogen (H) has 1.
