In which of the following molecules/ions BF3, NO2-, NH2- and H2O, the central atom is sp2 hybridised?

  1. NH2- and H2O
  2. NO2- and H2O
  3. BF3 and NO2-
  4. NO2- and NH2-

Answer

(3) BF3 and NO2-

Solution

Number of hybrid orbitals = σ bonds + lone pairs on the central atom.

BF3: 3 σ + 0 lp = 3 ⇒ sp2

NO2-: 2 σ + 1 lp = 3 ⇒ sp2

NH2-: 2 σ + 2 lp = 4 ⇒ sp3

H2O: 2 σ + 2 lp = 4 ⇒ sp3

∴ BF3 and NO2- are sp2 hybridised.

Answer: (3)
