    In which of the following pairs of molecules/ions, the central atoms have sp2 hybridization?       [AIPMT (S) 2010]

    A) \[NO_{2}^{-}\] and \[N{{H}_{3}}\]

    B)      \[BF_{3}^{{}}\] and \[NH_{2}^{-}\]

    C) \[NH_{2}^{-}\] and \[H_{2}^{{}}O\]

    D)       \[BF_{3}^{{}}\] and

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea For \[s{{p}^{2}}\] hybridization, there must be \[3\sigma \]-bonds or \[2\sigma \]bonds along with a lone pair of electrons.
    (i) \[NO_{2}^{-}\Rightarrow 2\sigma +1\,lp=3,ie,s{{p}^{2}}\]hybridization
    (ii) \[N{{H}_{3}}\Rightarrow 3\sigma +1\,lp=4,ie,s{{p}^{3}}\] hybridization
    (iii) \[B{{F}_{3}}\Rightarrow 3\sigma +0\,lp=3,ie,s{{p}^{2}}\] hybridization
    (iv) \[NH_{2}^{-}\Rightarrow 2\sigma +2\,lp=4,ie,s{{p}^{3}}\] hybridization
    (v) \[H_{2}^{{}}O\Rightarrow 2\sigma +2\,lp=4,ie,s{{p}^{3}}\] hybridization
    Thus, among the given pairs, only \[B{{F}_{3}}\] and \[NO_{2}^{-}\] have \[s{{p}^{2}}\] hybridization.
