Question

$s{p}^3{d}^2$ hybridization is observed in

• A. $Br{F}_3$
• B. $Cl{F}_3$
• C. $BrC{l}_3$
• D. $IC{l}_5$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$IC{l}_5$
Total no. of $e^{-}=7\times 6=42$
$=8\times 4+2$
Total no. of hybridised orbitals $=\frac{8\times 5}{8}+\frac{2}{2}$
$=5+1=6$
$\Rightarrow s{p}^3{d}^2$
