In which of the following molecules S atom does not assume $$\displaystyle { sp }^{ 3 }$$ hybridsation?

A$$\displaystyle { SO }_{ 4 }^{ 2- }$$
B$$\displaystyle { SF }_{ 4 }$$
Correct Answer
C$$\displaystyle { SF }_{ 2 }$$
D$$\displaystyle { S }_{ 8 }$$

Solution

In SO
2−
4
⇒bp=4,lp=0∴hybridisationsp3
In SF4⇒bp=4,lp=1∴hybridisationsp3d
In SF2⇒bp=2,lp=2∴hybridisationsp3
In S8⇒bp=2,lp=2∴hybridisationsp3
Thus, only SF4 does not have sp3 hybridisation.
