Question

Which of the following have sp³d hybridisation of the central atom?

Easy

A

${XeF}_{4}$
B

${XeO}_{2} F_{2}$
C

${ClO}_{3}^{⊝}$
D

${BrF}_{3}$

Solution

(1) Hybridisation of $: \ddot{xe} F_{4} = \frac{1}{2} (8 + 4) = 6, \Rightarrow s p^{3} d^{2}$
(2) Hybridisation of $Xe O_{2} F_{2} = \frac{1}{2} (8 + 0 + 2) = 5 \Rightarrow s p^{3} d$
(3) Hybridisation of ${ClO}_{3}^{⊝} = \frac{1}{2} (7 + 0 + 1) = 4 \Rightarrow s p^{3}$
(4) Hybridisation of $\ddot{Br} F_{3} = \frac{1}{2} (7 + 3) = 5 \Rightarrow s p^{3} d$
So, (2) and (4) have same hybridisation.
