How many of the following molecules have sp³^d² hybridization on the central atom? SeCl₆ XeF₄ IF₅ AsCl₅ A) 1 B) 3 C) 0 D) 2 E) 4

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hybridization of the central atom in SeCl₆, XeF₄, and AsCl₅ is sp3d2, while the hybridization of the central atom in IF₅ is sp3d. Therefore, only one molecule (IF₅) has sp³^d² hybridization on the central atom.
