Question

The hybrid orbital having only 20% d character
(1) CCI4
(2) SF6
(3) SF4
(4) Cl2O​

Answer 1

Answer:

In SF4 molecule, the ‘hybrid orbital’ is having only “20% d character”.

Given molecule               Hybridization

$\mathrm{CCl}_{4}$                    -                    $\mathrm{Sp}^{3}$

  $\mathrm{SF}_{6}$                    -                   $\mathbf{S p}^{3} \mathbf{d}^{2}$

   $\mathrm{SF}_{4}$                   -               $\mathrm{Sp}^{3} \mathrm{d}$

  $\mathrm{Cl}_{2} \mathrm{O}$                  -                $\mathrm{Sp}^{3}$

• $\mathrm{Sp}^{3}$hybridization has one’s orbital, three p orbitals and one d orbital.

• All these five orbitals intermix to give five hybrid orbitals.
• The symmetry of $\mathrm{Sp}^{3}$ hybridization is “trigonal bipyramidal symmetry.
• In this hybridization, the ‘hybrid orbitals’ have 20% of “s”, 60% of “p” and 20% of “d” characters.

Answer 2

Answer:

....

Explanation:

n SF4 molecule, the ‘hybrid orbital’ is having only “20% d character”.

Given molecule               Hybridization

                   -                    

                     -                    

                     -                

                   -                

hybridization has one’s orbital, three p orbitals and one d orbital.

All these five orbitals intermix to give five hybrid orbitals.

The symmetry of  hybridization is “trigonal bipyramidal symmetry.

In this hybridization, the ‘hybrid orbitals’ have 20% of “s”, 60% of “p” and 20% of “d” characters.
