- B Pyramidal
- C Triangular planar
- D "T" shaped
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Pyramidal
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}\) total valence \(e^{-1}\) count \(\begin{array}{l} \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{H}+\mathrm{H}+\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{e}^{-1}=8 \\ 2,6 \quad 1 \quad 1 \quad 1 \end{array}\) using Lever rule \(2|8| 4 \leadsto\) sp \(^{3}\) hybrid \((0)\) \(\frac{8}{x}\)
