Question

Consider the SCl2 molecule. (c) What hybrid orbitals 
should be constructed on the S atom to make the S-Cl bonds 
in SCl2?

Accepted Answer

Hi everyone here, we have a question asked us to determine the type of hybridized orbital's that are used by the central nitrogen atom in ammonia to form the in single H bonds. So let's draw our LeWIS structure. So we have nitrogen in the middle, with three single bonds to hydrogen And one lone pair. So now let's count the electron groups. We have 1234 electron groups, making this an sp three molecule. And that is our final answer. Thank you for watching. Bye.
