Question

In BeCl_2, sp hybrid of Be atomic orbitals gives rise to_______ molecular structure. Linear trigonal planar tetrahedral octahedral The sp hybrid orbitals are related to each other by the bond angle__________. 60 degree 180 degree 120 degree 90 degree In BCl_3, sp^2 hybrid of the B atomic orbitals gives rise to__________ structure. linear trigonal planar tetrahedral octahedral The sp^2 hybrid orbitals are realted to each other by the bond angle__________. 60 degree 180 degree 120 degree 90 degree

Explanation / Answer

1. CI------Be---CI (a) linear shape with 1800

2. (b) 1800

3. Boron forms three sp-pbonds with three chlorine atoms by using its half filled sp2 hybrid orbitals. (b) trigonal planar

4. (c) 1200
