Question
Among the following compounds the one that is polar and has the central atom with $$s{p^2}$$ hybridisation is
A.
$${H_2}C{O_3}$$
B.
$$Si{F_4}$$
C.
$$B{F_3}$$
D.
$$HCl{O_2}$$
Answer :
$${H_2}C{O_3}$$
Solution :
$${H_2}C{O_3}$$ and $$B{F_3}$$ both have triangular planar structure
$$B{F_3}$$ is symmetrical
$$\therefore \,\mu = 0$$ hence non polar, $${H_2}C{O_3}$$ is not symmetrical hence polar in nature.
