Question

hybridization of br3-​

Answer 1

Answer:

two different types of are present in br3- ;

sp3d on the central atom , and sp3 on the noncentral atoms. The molecule is linear in practice , but the geometry of the central atoms orbitals is trigonal bipyramidal

Answer 2

Answer:

Hybridization is $sp3d$

• As we know that electronic configuration of $Br$ is :-
• $(Ar)\: 3d10\: 4s2\: 4p5\: 4d0$
• $Br$ has a total of $4$ pair of electron in which $3$ electron form $4p$ orbitals and $1$ electron form $4s$ orbital.
• $Br$- ion will donate its $1st$ electron pair to $4d$ orbitals of alpha $Br$ through coordinate bond .
• The characteristic of this bond will be similar to that of a sigma bond between alpha  Br and beta $Br$.

Therefore it will have $sp3d$ hybridization.
