Chapter 11: Q11.9P (page 433)

What is the hybridization of chlorine in each of the following: (a)CO2-; (b)ClO3-; (c)ClO4-?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The hybridization of chlorine is given by

H=GA+(VE-V-C)2

Where H-hybridization of a central atom

GA- number of groups attached to a central atom

VE-valence electrons of a central atom

V-valency of a central atom

C-charge on molecule

Step by step solution

01

Hybridization of chlorine in ClO2-

GA=2, VE=7, V=4, C=-1

By substituting the value in the equation

H=GA+(VE-V-C)2=2+[7-4-(-1)]2=4(Sp3)

Hence,the hybridization of chlorine in CO2-isSp3

02

hybridization of chlorine in ClO3-

GA=3, VE=7, V=6, C=-1

By substituting the value in equation

H=GA+(VE-V-C)2=2+[7-6-(-1)]2=4(Sp3)

Hence, thehybridization of chlorine in ClO3-isSp3

03

hybridization of chlorine in ClO4-

GA=4, VE=7, V=8, C=-1

By substituting the value in equation

H=GA+(VE-V-C)2=2+[7-8-(-1)]2=4(Sp3)

As a result, chlorine hybridization in ClO4-isSp3
