The states of hybridization of boron and oxygen atoms in boric acid (H3BO3) are respectively
Multiple Choice Options
- A sp2 and sp2
- B sp3 and sp3
- C sp3 and sp2
- D sp2 and sp3
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Structure of H3BO3 is
Here Boron has 3 sigma bond. So it is sp2 hybridised.
And oxygen has two sigma bond and two lone pair. So it sp3 hybridised.
Here Boron has 3 sigma bond. So it is sp2 hybridised.
And oxygen has two sigma bond and two lone pair. So it sp3 hybridised.
