Question

Pridict Hybridisation of PCL3 BrF3 and XeF4​

Answer 1

Answer:

Structure of PCl3. As hybridisation is equal to sum of sigma bonds +number of lone pairs. Hence in PCl3 we have 3 sigma bonds(P—Cl )bonds and one lone pair so total 4, hence hybrdisation is sp3. PCl3 molecule a trigonal pyramidal geometry or shape.

In XeF4, central atom Xe is sp3d2 hybridised having 2 lone pair on it so shape of molecule will be square planer. You can calculate its hybridisation using simple merhod, ... In ethene CH2=CH2 carbon atom form 3 sigma bonds, two with hydrogen and one with carbon so its hybridisation will be sp2.
