Determine the Hybrid State of Cl in HCl

Solutions

Expert Solution

Hybridisation is the mixing of atomic orbitals of different energy and symmetry to give hybrid orbitals of same energy and symmetry.

There are different kinds of hybridisation based on the percentage each orbital contribute for the same.

If we take sp hybridisation there both s and p orbitals have same contribution whereas in case of sp3 p orbital has 75% contribution. The hybridisation has effect on acidity and basicity. sp is more acidic than sp3 as s contribution is more and thus electrons will be held more close to nucleus and so more acidic.

The hybridisation of Cl in HCl is sp3. The geometry is linear.
