The hybridisaton of sulphur in sulphur dioxide is .

A

sp

B

`sp^(3)`

C

`sp^(2)`

D

`dsp^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In `SO_(2),` the Lewis-dot structure is `O = overset(* *)S=O`
Electron pairs at `S = 2` (`sigma-` bonds) `+ 1` (lone-pair) `= 3sp^(2)` hybridised.
NOTE: `pi` - bonded electrons are not present in hybrid orbitals, therefore not counted in electron pairs. Rather `pi` bonds are formed by lateral overlapping of pure p-orbitals.
