The species in which the central atom uses $$s{p^2}$$ hybrid orbitals in its bonding is
A.
$$P{H_3}$$
B.
$$N{H_3}$$
C.
$$CH_3^ + $$
D.
$$Sb{H_3}$$
Answer :
$$CH_3^ + $$
Solution :
From amongst given species $$P{H_3},$$ $$N{H_3}$$ and $$Sb{H_3}$$ are all $$s{p^3}$$ hybridised. Their central atom has both bond pair as well as lone pair of electrons. The lone pair occupy the fourth orbital. $$CH_3^ + $$ has only three pairs of electrons so it is $$s{p^2}$$ hybridised.
