Count of Species with sp2 Hybridization | JEE Main PYQ
Total number of species from the following with central atom utilising sp2 hybrid orbitals for bonding is ______.

NH3, SO2, SiO2, BeCl2, C2H2, C2H4, BCl3, HCHO, C6H6, BF3, C2H4Cl2

Correct Answer: 6

Explanation

SO2, C2H4, BCl3, HCHO, C6H6 and BF3 have sp2 hybridized central atoms.

All remaining species have either sp or sp3 hybridization.
