In which one of the following the central atom is `sp^(3)` hydridised?

A

a)`NH _(4) ^(+)`

B

b)`BF _(3)`

C

c)`SF _(6)`

D

d)`PCl_(5)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Species having 4 bp and 0 lp or 3 bp and 1 lp or 2 bp and 2 lp are generally `sp ^(3)` hybridised.
`NH _(4) ^(+) implies 4 bp + 0lp = sp ^(3)` hybridised
`BF _(3) implies 3 bp + 0lp implies sp ^(2)` hybridised
`SF_(6) implies6 bp + 0lp = sp ^(2) d ^(2)` hybridised
`PCl _(5) implies 5bp + 0lp = sp^(3) d` hybridised
`XeF_(4) implies 4bp + 2lp = sp ^(3) d ^(2)` hybridised
Thus, `NH _(4) ^(+)` is the species, central atom of which is `sp ^(3)` hybridised.
