The correct order of hybridization of the central atom in the following species

\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}_3},{\left[ {\mathrm{PtC}{\mathrm{l}_4}} \right]^{2 - }},\mathrm{PC}{\mathrm{l}_5}

and

\mathrm{BC}{\mathrm{l}_3}

is:

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

s{p^3},ds{p^2},ds{p^3},s{p^2}

Option B (

s{p^3},ds{p^2},ds{p^3},s{p^2}

) is correct because it lists the correct hybridization for each species in the given order:

NH_3

[PtCl_4]^{2-}

PCl_5

, and

BCl_3
