Among I3+,SiO44-,SO2Cl2,XeF2,SF4,ClF3,NiCO4,XeO2F2,PtCl42-,XeF4, and SOCl2, the total number of species having sp3 hybridised central atom is

Correct answer: 5

Solution

I3+ ion has sp3 hybridisation and bent shape containing two bond pairs and two lone pairs. Structure of SiO44− is tetrahedral structure and Si is sp3 hybridised. The molecular geometry of SOCl2 is trigonal pyramidal and its electron geometry is tetrahedral. In this molecule sulphur undergo sp3 hbridisation,

Hence, the total number of sp3 hybridised central atom molecules are 5.

 

Hence, the correct answer is 5.
