$$H = \frac{1}{2}\left( {V + M - C + A} \right)$$
where $$H = $$ No. of orbitals involved in hybridisation $$\left( {viz.2\,,3\,,\,4,\,5,\,6} \right)$$ and hence nature of hybridisation $$\left( {viz.\,s{p^2},\,s{p^3},\,s{p^3}d,\,s{p^3}{d^2}} \right)$$ can be ascertained.
$$V = $$ No. of electrons in valence shell of the central atom, $$M = $$ No. of monovalent atoms,$$C = $$ Charge on cation, $$A = $$ Charge on anion,
For $$ClO_2^ - $$ we have, $$H = \frac{1}{2}\left( {7 + 0 - 0 + 1} \right)$$
$$ \Rightarrow H = \frac{1}{2}\left( {7 + 1} \right) = 4\,or\,s{p^3}$$ hybridisation as $$4\,$$ orbitals are involved

Which of the two ions from the list given below, have the geometry that is explained by the same hybridisation of orbitals,
$$NO_2^ - ,NO_3^ - ,NH_2^ - ,NH_4^ + ,SC{N^ - }?$$
Configuration of \[{C_2} = \sigma 1{s^2}{\sigma ^*}1{s^2}\sigma 2{s^2}{\sigma ^*}2{s^2}\pi 2p_x^2 = \pi 2p_y^2\]
Configuration of \[C_2^ - = \sigma 1{s^2}{\sigma ^*}1{s^2}\sigma 2{s^2}{\sigma ^*}2{s^2}\pi 2p_x^2 = \pi 2p_y^2\sigma 2p_z^1\]
$${\text{Bond order}} = \frac{{{\text{No}}{\text{. of bounding }}{e^ - } - {\text{No}}{\text{. of antibonding }}{e^ - }}}{2}$$
\[{C_2}\] has $$s{\text{ - }}p$$ mixing and the HOMO is \[\pi 2{p_x} = \pi 2{p_y},\] and LUMO is \[\sigma 2{p_z}.\]. So, the extra electron will occupy bounding molecular orbital and this will lead to an increase in bond order.
\[C_2^ - \] has more bond order than \[{C_2}.\]
TIPS/Formulae:
$$4\sigma \,{\text{bonds}} - s{p^3}\,{\text{hybridisation}}$$
$$2\sigma \,{\text{and}}\,2\pi \,{\text{bonds}} - s{p^2}\,{\text{hybridisation}}\,$$
$$1\sigma \,{\text{and}}\,3\pi \,{\text{bonds}} - sp\,\,\,{\text{hybridisation}}$$
[For hybridization only $$\sigma {\text{ - bonds}}$$ are considered]
$$\left( {\text{a}} \right)3\sigma ,1\pi \,\,\left( {\text{b}} \right)3\sigma ,1\pi \,\,\left( {\text{c}} \right)4\sigma \,\,\left( {\text{d}} \right)3\sigma ,1\pi $$
$$\therefore {\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_3}COH$$ has $$4\sigma $$ bonds and thus it has $$s{p^3}$$ hybridisation.

The shape of water molecule which should be tetrahedral has a bent or distorted tetrahedral shape with a bond angle $${104.5^ \circ }.$$ What could be the reason for this?
A
$$lp{\text{ - }}lp$$ repulsion is more than $$lp{\text{ - }}bp$$ repulsion.
B
$$lp{\text{ - }}bp$$ repulsion is more than $$lp{\text{ - }}lp$$ repulsion.
C
$$lp{\text{ - }}lp$$ repulsion is equal to $$lp{\text{ - }}bp$$ repulsion.
D
Presence of lone pair does not affect the bond angle.
Answer :
$$lp{\text{ - }}lp$$ repulsion is more than $$lp{\text{ - }}bp$$ repulsion.
$$C{N^ - }$$ and $$CO$$ are isoelectronic because they have equal number of electrons.
In $$C{N^ - }$$ the number of electron $$ = 6 + 7 + 1 = 14$$
In $$CO$$ the number of electrons $$ = 6 + 8 = 14$$
