Question

Which of the following correctly summarizes the exact relationships between the SN values of 2 to 6, the hybrid orbital names, and the predicted geometries for molecules that have hybridized central atoms? A. SN = 2; sp; octahedral SN = 3; sp2; five inequivalent orbitals SN = 4; sp3; tetrahedral SN = 5; sp3d; trigonal planar SN = 6; sp3d2; linear B. SN = 6; sp; linear SN = 5; sp2; trigonal planar SN = 4; sp3; tetrahedral SN = 3; sp3d; five inequivalent orbitals SN = 2; sp3d2; octahedral C. SN = 2; sp; linear SN = 3; sp2; trigonal planar SN = 4; sp3; tetrahedral SN = 5; sp3d; trigonal bipyramidal SN = 6; sp3d2; octahedral D. SN = 2; sp; linear SN = 3; sp2; trigonal planar SN = 4; sp3; tetrahedral SN = 5; sp4; trigonal bipyramidal SN = 6; sp5; octahedral

Explanation / Answer

C. SN = 2; sp; linear SN = 3; sp2; trigonal planar SN = 4; sp3; tetrahedral SN = 5; sp3d; trigonal bipyramidal SN = 6; sp3d2; octahedral
