The hybridisation of central atom I of  IF7 is

  1. A sp2 d4
  2. B sp3 d2
  3. C sp3 d1
  4. D sp3 d3
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) sp3 d3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know, In the molecule IF7​ the central atom I has 7 valence electrons out of which all 7 electrons form 7 sigma bonds implies the stearic number is 7 and therefore the hybridization is sp3d3 and the geometry is same as shape which is pentagonal bipyramidal in which 5F are…
