- sp2, sp3, sp3d2
- sp, sp3, sp3d2
- sp3, sp3d, sp3d2
- sp3, sp3d2, d2sp3
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The hybridization of sulfur in SF\(_2\), SF\(_4\), and SF\(_6\) corresponds to sp\(^3\), sp\(^3\)d, and sp\(^3\)d\(^2\), respectively, due to the different numbers of bonding regions around the sulfur atom.
