Question

In which excited state iodine shows sp3d3 hybridization?

Answer 1

Answer:

In third excited state iodine shows sp3d3 hybridisation

Ex : IF7

Explanation:

Answer 2

In third excited state , Iodine ( I ) shows sp3d3 hybridization .

• In third excited state ,  electronic configuration of Iodine is :

             [Kr] 4d10 5s1 5p3 5d3

• Seven half filled orbitals are generated in this configuration .
• This configuration results in sp3d3 hybridization .
• IF7 is a popular compound of Iodine in this hybridization .
• It shows pentagonal bi-pyramidal symmetry .
