Vedclass · Answer

(D) In $CO_2$,the carbon atom is $sp$ hybridised. If the hybridisation involves $s$ and $p_x$ orbitals,the hybrid orbitals lie along the $x$-axis.Since the molecule is linear,the $O-C-O$ bond axis must be the $x$-axis.The $\sigma$ bonds are formed by the overlap of $sp$ hybrid orbitals of $C$ with the $p_x$ orbitals of $O$ atoms.The remaining $p_y$ and $p_z$ orbitals of $C$ are used for $\pi$ bonding with the $p_y$ and $p_z$ orbitals of $O$ atoms respectively.Because the molecule is linear and lies along the $x$-axis,it can be considered to exist in any plane containing the $x$-axis (e.g.,$XY$ plane,$XZ$ plane,or any plane rotated around the $x$-axis).Therefore,the molecule is present in infinite planes.

List-$I$ (Species)	List-$II$ (Hybrid Orbitals)
$(a)$ $SF_{4}$	$(i)$ $sp^{3}d^{2}$
$(b)$ $IF_{5}$	$(ii)$ $d^{2}sp^{3}$
$(c)$ $NO_{2}^{+}$	$(iii)$ $sp^{3}d$
$(d)$ $NH_{4}^{+}$	$(iv)$ $sp^{3}$
	$(v)$ $sp$

In $CO_2$,$C$ is $sp$ hybridised using $s$ and $p_x$ orbitals. Then:
