What orbital hybridization is expected for the central atom in a molecule with a trigonal planar geometry? A)sp B)sp² C)sp³ D)None of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Trigonal planar geometry is associated with sp2 hybridization, where the central atom has three equivalent hybrid orbitals that form sigma bonds with three other atoms, resulting in a flat, triangular molecular shape.
