Vedclass · Answer

(C) To determine the hybridization,we use the formula: $	ext{Steric Number} = 	ext{Number of sigma bonds} + 	ext{Number of lone pairs}$.For $H_3C^{+}$,the carbon atom is bonded to $3$ hydrogen atoms and has $0$ lone pairs. $	ext{Steric Number} = 3 + 0 = 3$,which corresponds to $sp^2$ hybridization.For $NH_3$,$PH_3$,and $SbH_3$,the central atoms are bonded to $3$ atoms and have $1$ lone pair. $	ext{Steric Number} = 3 + 1 = 4$,which corresponds to $sp^3$ hybridization (though in $PH_3$ and $SbH_3$,the bond angles are close to $90^{\circ}$ due to the lack of significant hybridization,often described as using pure $p$-orbitals).
