Question

The hybridisation of the central atom in BrF5 molecule is (A)  sp3  (B)  dsp2  (C)  sp3d2  (D)  d3sp3

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In BrF5, there are seven electrons in the valence shell of the central Br-atom. Five out of these are shared with fluorine atoms. Thus. there are five bond pairs and one lone pair. Hence, the hybridisation is sp3d2 and shape is square pyramidal.

Q. The hybridisation of the central atom in $B r F_{5}$ molecule is

$s p^{3}$

$d s p^{2}$

$s p^{3} d^{2}$

$d^{3} s p^{3}$
