The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the given options for changes in hybridization and bond angles. The question specifically asks for a process where there is no change in hybridization state but an increase in bond angle. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Hybridization and Bond Angles**: - Hybridization refers to the mixing of atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals. - The bond angle is the angle between two bonds that originate from the same atom. 2. **Analyzing Option A: BF3 and BF4-**: - For BF3: - Valence electrons of Boron = 3 - Bonding pairs = 3 (from three F atoms) - Hybridization: \( n = \frac{(3 + 3)}{2} = 3 \) → SP2 - For BF4-: - Valence electrons of Boron = 3 - Bonding pairs = 4 (from four F atoms) + 1 (due to -1 charge) - Hybridization: \( n = \frac{(3 + 4 + 1)}{2} = 4 \) → SP3 - **Conclusion**: There is a change in hybridization from SP2 to SP3, so this option does not satisfy the condition. 3. **Analyzing Option B: H2O and H3O+**: - For H2O: - Valence electrons of Oxygen = 6 - Bonding pairs = 2 (from two H atoms) + 2 (lone pairs) - Hybridization: \( n = \frac{(6 + 2)}{2} = 4 \) → SP3 - For H3O+: - Valence electrons of Oxygen = 6 - Bonding pairs = 3 (from three H atoms) + 1 (lone pair) - 1 (due to +1 charge) - Hybridization: \( n = \frac{(6 + 3 - 1)}{2} = 4 \) → SP3 - **Conclusion**: There is no change in hybridization (both are SP3), but the bond angle increases from approximately 104.5° in H2O to around 113° in H3O+. This option satisfies the condition. 4. **Analyzing Option C: BeF2 and BeF4 2-**: - For BeF2: - Valence electrons of Beryllium = 2 - Bonding pairs = 2 (from two F atoms) - Hybridization: \( n = \frac{(2 + 2)}{2} = 2 \) → SP - For BeF4 2-: - Valence electrons of Beryllium = 2 - Bonding pairs = 4 (from four F atoms) + 2 (due to -2 charge) - Hybridization: \( n = \frac{(2 + 4 + 2)}{2} = 4 \) → SP3 - **Conclusion**: There is a change in hybridization from SP to SP3, so this option does not satisfy the condition. 5. **Analyzing Option D: BeCl2 gas to BeCl2 solid**: - This is a phase change (gas to solid) and does not involve any change in hybridization or bond angles. - **Conclusion**: No change in hybridization or bond angles occurs here, so this option does not satisfy the condition. ### Final Conclusion: The only option where there is **no change in hybridization** but an **increase in bond angle** is **Option B: H2O to H3O+**. ### Answer: **Option B** is the correct answer.
