AIPMT MAINS 2010 Chemistry Hybridization MCQ Question
Some of the properties of the two species, NO₃⁻ and H₃O⁺ are described below. Which one of them is correct? (1) Dissimilar in hybridization for the central atom with different structures (2) Isostructural with same hybridization for the central atom (3) Isostructural with different hybridization for the central atom (4) Similar in hybridization for the central atom with different structures
Dissimilar in hybridization for the central atom with different structures
Isostructural with same hybridization for the central atom
Isostructural with different hybridization for the central atom
Similar in hybridization for the central atom with different structures
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
NO₃⁻ has sp² hybridization while H₃O⁺ has sp³ hybridization, making them dissimilar in hybridization.
