<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the hybridization of , we use the equation:
where,
V = number of valence electrons present in central atom (S) = 6
N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom = 0
C = charge of cation = 0
A = charge of anion = 0
Putting values in above equation, we get:
The number of electron pair around the central metal atom are 3. This means that the hybridization will be and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be trigonal planar.
Hence, the correct answer is Option D.
