Question

The set of molecules with different geometry and same type of hybridization is

• A. \(CH_4,\;PCl_5,\;SF_6\)
• B. \(H_2O,\;BeF_2,\;PCl_3\)
• C. \(CH_4,\;NH_3,\;H_2O\)
• D. \(CO_2,\;SO_2,\;SO_3\) \bigskip

Hint:

For \(sp^3\) hybridization: \[ CH_4 \rightarrow \text{Tetrahedral} \] \[ NH_3 \rightarrow \text{Trigonal pyramidal} \] \[ H_2O \rightarrow \text{Bent} \] Same hybridization does not necessarily imply same geometry.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
