    A polar compound has\[s{{p}^{2}}\]hybridisation. It is:

    A) \[Si{{F}_{4}}\]                                   

    B) \[C{{H}_{4}}\]

    C) \[B{{F}_{3}}\]                                    

    D) \[{{H}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     \[{{H}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]has\[s{{p}^{2}}\]hybridisation as: Number of hybrid orbitals \[=\frac{1}{2}\] (number of electrons in valence shell of atom + number of monovalent atoms - charge on cation + charge on anion. \[=\frac{1}{2}[4+2-0+0]\] \[=3\] \[\therefore \]hybridisation is\[s{{p}^{2}}\] \[{{H}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]is a polar compound due to the difference in the electronegativity?s of the elemens.
