Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 60
Question: Among the following compounds the one that is polar and has central atom with $ sp^{2}- $ hybridization is
Options:
A) $ H_2CO_3 $
B) $ BF_3 $
C) $ SiF_4 $
D) $ HClO_2 $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
In $ H_2CO_3 $ and $ BF_3 $ the central atom is in $ sp^{2} $ hybridization but in $ H_2CO_3 $ due to the ionic character of $ O-H $ bond it will be polar (High electronegativity of oxygen).
