Question

Species like $SbC{l}_6^{-},SnC{l}_6{}^{2-},Xe{F}_5^{+}$and $I{O}_6^{5-}$ has hybridization as $s{p}_3{d}^{x-1}$. The value of " $x$ " is

Answer 1

Answer: 3.00

Finding the number of hybridized orbitals (by using the formula) $n$ the central atom to find the hybridization:
$H=\frac{1}{2}(V+M-C+A)$
$SbC{l}_6^{-}\Rightarrow H=\frac{1}{2}(5+6+1)$
$=6,s{p}^3{d}^2$
$SnC{l}_6^{2-}\Rightarrow H=\frac{1}{2}(4+6+2)$
$=6,s{p}^3{d}^2$
$Xe{F}_5^{+}\Rightarrow H=\frac{1}{2}(8+5-1)$
$=6,s{p}^3{d}^2$
$I{O}_6^{5-}\Rightarrow H=\frac{1}{2}(7+0+5)$
$=6,s{p}^3{d}^2$
