Vedclass · Answer

(A) $sp^3$ hybridisation involves the mixing of one $s$ and three $p$ orbitals to form four equivalent $sp^3$ hybrid orbitals directed towards the corners of a tetrahedron.Common geometries resulting from $sp^3$ hybridisation include tetrahedral (e.g.,$CH_4$),trigonal pyramidal (e.g.,$NH_3$),and bent/angular (e.g.,$H_2O$).Triangular planar,See-Saw,$T$-shape,and linear geometries are associated with other hybridisation types (such as $sp^2$,$sp^3d$,or $sp^3d^2$) and are not produced by $sp^3$ hybridisation.Therefore,all the given options are not produced by $sp^3$ hybridisation,but in the context of standard multiple-choice questions,this question is often flawed as multiple options are correct.

	Molecule	Hybridization	Geometry	Number of lone pairs of electrons on central atom
$I$	$SiH_4$	$sp^3$	tetrahedral	$0$
$II$	$BeCl_2$	$sp^2$	linear	$1$
$III$	$SF_4$	$dsp^3$	square planar	$1$
$IV$	$SnCl_2$	$sp$	linear	$0$
