The correct order of hybridization of the central atom in the following species NH3, [PtCl4]2–, PCl5 and BCl3 is (a) dsp2, dsp3, sp2, sp3 (b) sp3, dsp2, sp3, sp2 (c) dsp2, sp2, sp3, dsp3 (d) dsp2, sp3, sp2, dsp3

Correct answer: (b) sp3, dsp2, sp3, sp2 Explanation: Hybridisation in NH3 = sp3, [PtCl4]2– = dsp2 (inner complex); PCl5 = sp3d and BCl3 is sp2.

Correct answer: (b) sp³, dsp², sp³, sp²

Explanation:

Hybridisation in NH₃ = sp³,

[PtCl₄]^2– = dsp² (inner complex);

PCl₅ = sp³d and BCl₃ is sp².
