A) \[s{{p}^{3}}\]
B) \[s{{p}^{2}}\]
C) \[sp\]
D) \[ds{{p}^{2}}\]
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Central oxygen atom in ether \[R-O-R\] molecule, is \[s{{p}^{3}}\]hybridized. The two half-filled \[s{{p}^{3}}\] hybrid orbitals form two o-bonds and the remaining two \[s{{p}^{3}}\] hybrid orbitals contain lone pair of electrons. The molecule is bent due to lone pair lone pair repulsion and bond angle is\[{{110}^{o}}\].You need to login to perform this action.
