In which of the following molecules, the number of line pairs of electrons on central atom and the number d-orbitals involved in the hybridisation of central atom, is same?
- A \(\mathrm{ClF}_3\)
- B \(\mathrm{PCl}_5\)
- C \(\mathrm{BrF}_5\)
- D \(\mathrm{SF}_4\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\mathrm{SF}_4\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{SF}_4\) \(\therefore \quad\) Geometry of the molecule is Trigonal bipyramidal. Here only one ' \(\mathrm{d}\) ' orbital takes part in bonding and the geometry also shows only one lone pair of electron.
