Correct answer: A
- We need to check whether the hybridisation of the underlined atom changes in each conversion.
- Option A:
- In , aluminium forms 3 bond pairs and has no lone pair.
- Steric number , so geometry is trigonal planar.
- Hybridisation of is .
Now for :
- Aluminium is bonded to 4 hydrogens.
- Steric number , so geometry is tetrahedral.
- Hybridisation of is .
So, in option A, hybridisation changes:
Hence, A is correct.
- Option B:
For :
- Oxygen has 2 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs.
- Steric number .
- Hybridisation of is .
For :
- Oxygen has 3 bond pairs and 1 lone pair.
- Steric number .
- Hybridisation of is still .
So, in option B, hybridisation does not change.
Hence, B is incorrect.
- Option C:
For :
- Nitrogen has 3 bond pairs and 1 lone pair.
- Steric number .
- Hybridisation of is .
For :
- Nitrogen has 4 bond pairs and 0 lone pairs.
- Steric number .
- Hybridisation of is still .
So, in option C, hybridisation does not change.
Hence, C is incorrect.
- Option D: “in all cases”
Since only option A shows a change in hybridisation, option D is incorrect.
- Final Answer
Only Option A is correct.
