Question

If an atom has sp3d hybridization in a molecule: the maximum number of bonds that the atom can form is 5 the maximum number of p-p bonds that the atom can form is if an atom has sp3 hybridization in a molecule: the maximum number of bonds that the atom can form is 4 the maximum number of p-p bonds that the

Answer 1

Answer:

The sp3d hybridization gives five relatively equal orbitals. Each of these orbitals can be used to form either sigma bonds or pi bonds depended on the type of atoms it is bonding with in the molecule.

So the maximum number of pi bonds that can be formed is five.

This does not mean that the molecule will have five pi bonds.
