The hybrid state of sulphur in \[SO_{4}^{2-}\] is:

A)  \[s{{p}^{3}}\]                                   

B)  \[s{{p}^{2}}\]                   

C)  \[sp\]                  

D)         none of these

Correct Answer: A

Solution :

S atom, in \[SO_{4}^{2-},\] remains \[s{{p}^{3}}-\]hybridized. Hence, hybridisation\[=s{{p}^{3}}\]
