Question

In $\text{S}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}$ hybridisation is:

$sp$

$s{{p}^{3}}$

$ds{{p}^{2}}$

$s{{p}^{2}}$

Answer

$s{{p}^{2}}$

Explanation

Solution

S(excited state)=
It has two bonds and one lone pair The $S-O$ ) double bond arise from $p\pi -d\pi$ bonding due to lateral overlap of p-orbitals of oxygen with $d-$ orbitals of sulphur. The bond between S and O results from $s{{p}^{2}}$ hybridization in S-atom.
