    Which one of the following is a correct set with respect to molecule, hybridisation and shape?

    A) \[BeC{{l}_{2}},\text{ }s{{p}^{2}},\,\]linear

    B) \[BeC{{l}_{2}},\text{ }s{{p}^{2}},\]triangular planar

    C) \[~BC{{l}_{3}},\text{ }s{{p}^{2}},\] triangular planar

    D) \[BC{{l}_{3}},s{{p}^{3}},\]tetrahedral

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[BeC{{l}_{2}}\]has only two bond pair of electrons. So, its hybridisation is sp and bond angle is \[{{180}^{o}}.\] Its geometry is linear. In \[B{{C}_{3}},\]there is three bond pairs of electrons. So, its hybridisation is \[s{{p}^{2}}\]and bond angle is \[{{120}^{o}}.\] Its geometry is trigonal planar.
