Current Question (ID: 8062)

Question:
$\text{The correct order of increasing s-character (in percentage) in the hybrid orbitals of the following molecules/ions is:}$ $\text{(i) } \text{CO}_3^{2-}$ $\text{(ii) } \text{XeF}_4$ $\text{(iii) } \text{I}_3^{-}$ $\text{(iv) } \text{NCl}_3$ $\text{(v) } \text{BeCl}_2$
Options:
  • 1. $\text{(ii)}<\text{(iii)}<\text{(iv)}<\text{(i)}<\text{(v)}$
  • 2. $\text{(ii)}<\text{(iv)}<\text{(iii)}<\text{(v)}<\text{(i)}$
  • 3. $\text{(iii)}<\text{(ii)}<\text{(i)}<\text{(v)}<\text{(iv)}$
  • 4. $\text{(ii)}<\text{(iv)}<\text{(iii)}<\text{(i)}<\text{(v)}$ (Correct)
Solution:
$\text{HINT: Find out the hybridisation to calculate % s - character.}$ $\text{Explanation:}$ $\text{(i) } \text{CO}_3^{2-} = \text{sp}^2 \text{ (33.33 % character)}$ $\text{(ii) } \text{XeF}_4 = \text{sp}^3\text{d}^2 \text{ (16.66 % character)}$ $\text{(iii) } \text{I}_3^{-} = \text{sp}^3\text{d(20 % character)}$ $\text{(iv) } \text{NCl}_3 = \text{sp}^3 \text{ (25 % character)}$ $\text{(v) } \text{BeCl}_2 = \text{sp } \text{ (50 % character)}$ $\text{So, order of increasing s-character is :}$ $\text{ii } < \text{ iii } < \text{ iv } < \text{ i } < \text{ v}$
