Q78 / 197 · NEET 2009 (Mains) · Chemistry
In which of the following molecules / ions $\mathrm{BF}_3$, $\mathrm{NO}_2^{-}, \mathrm{NH}_2^{-}$and $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$, the central atom is $\mathrm{sp}^2$ hybridized?
- Correct answerA$\mathrm{BF}_3$ and $\mathrm{NO}_2^{-}$
- B$\mathrm{NO}_2^{-}$and $\mathrm{NH}_2$
- C$\mathrm{NH}_2^{-}$and $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$,
- D$\mathrm{NO}_2^{-}$and $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$
Solution
Both $\mathrm{BF}_3$ and $\mathrm{NO}_2^{-}$is $\mathrm{sp}^2$ hybridized.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
