Q. The hybrid state of S in $SO_{3}$ is similar to that of
A) $C\ in\ C_{2}H_{2}$
B) $C\ in\ C_{2}H_{4}$
C) $C\ in\ {CH}_{4}$
D) $C\ in\ {CO}_{2}$
Explanation
(b)
[table] Molecule | Hybridisation ; $SO_{3}$
$C_{2}H_{2}$
$C_{2}H_{4}$
$CH_{4}$
$CO_{2}$ | $sp^{2}$
$sp$
$sp^{2}$
$sp^{3}$
$sp$ [/table]
Hence, the hybrid state of S in $SO_{3}$ is similar to that of C in $C_{2}H_{4}.$
