how we can find hybridization for AsO3^3-


sagheersadaf258: firslty find total valence electrons= 5+ 6(3)-(-3)=26.
sagheersadaf258: then 26/8, divide remainder by 2, and then add quotient and remainder/2

The steric number (lone pairs + bonds to atoms) is 4, so thehybridization is sp³. The Lewis structure shows a P atom with a lone pair and a bond to each of the F atoms. The steric number is 5, so the hybridization is sp³d.
