The correct Answer is:
To determine which reaction involves a change in electron pair geometry (or hybridization), we will analyze the hybridization states of the reactants and products in each given reaction. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactions**: The question provides several reactions. We need to analyze each one to see if there is a change in hybridization. 2. **Analyze the First Reaction**: - Reaction: H₂O + H → H₃O⁺ - Hybridization of H₂O: The oxygen in water (H₂O) is sp³ hybridized because it has four electron pairs (two bonding pairs and two lone pairs). - Hybridization of H₃O⁺: In hydronium ion (H₃O⁺), the oxygen is also sp³ hybridized (three bonding pairs and one lone pair). - **Conclusion**: No change in hybridization. 3. **Analyze the Second Reaction**: - Reaction: 2 S₂O + O₂ → 2 SO₃ - Hybridization of S₂O: The sulfur in S₂O is sp² hybridized. - Hybridization of SO₃: In sulfur trioxide (SO₃), sulfur is also sp² hybridized. - **Conclusion**: No change in hybridization. 4. **Analyze the Third Reaction**: - Reaction: NH₃ + H⁻ → NH₄⁺ - Hybridization of NH₃: Ammonia (NH₃) has nitrogen that is sp³ hybridized. - Hybridization of NH₄⁺: The ammonium ion (NH₄⁺) also has nitrogen that is sp³ hybridized. - **Conclusion**: No change in hybridization. 5. **Analyze the Fourth Reaction**: - Reaction: BF₃ + F⁻ → BF₄⁻ - Hybridization of BF₃: Boron trifluoride (BF₃) has boron that is sp² hybridized. - Hybridization of BF₄⁻: In the tetrafluoroborate ion (BF₄⁻), boron is sp³ hybridized. - **Conclusion**: There is a change in hybridization from sp² to sp³. 6. **Final Conclusion**: The only reaction that involves a change in hybridization is the fourth reaction (BF₃ + F⁻ → BF₄⁻). Therefore, the correct answer is option A. ### Summary: - The reaction that involves a change in electron pair geometry (hybridization) is **BF₃ + F⁻ → BF₄⁻**.
