What is hybridisation on the central atom of `SiO_(2)`.

A

`sp`

B

`sp^(2)`

C

`sp^(3)`

D

`sp^(3)d`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`SiO_(2)` is a giant molecule it means one Si atom with four oxygen atom and one oxygen atom combine with two Si atom
`-underset(|)underset(O)underset(|)overset(|)overset(O)overset(|)(Si)-O-underset(|)underset(O)underset(|)overset(|)overset(O)overset(|)(Si)-O-underset(|)underset(O)underset(|)overset(|)overset(O)overset(|)(Si)-`
hybridisation of `Si=sp^(3)`
