Question

the number of orbitals used in hybridization of pf3cl2 molecule is​

Answer 1

the hybridization of pf3cl2 is sp3d . Its structure is trigonal bipyramidal. The fluorine atom is more electronegative and occupies an axial position. Chlorine, being less electronegative, occupies the equatorial position.

HENCE,WE HAVE USED 5 ORBITALS

Answer 2

Answer:

PCl₂F₃ is sp³d hybridised. It uses 5 orbitals, three of which are equatorial and occupied by fluorine atoms, and the remaining two are axial which are occupied by chlorine atoms.

Ans. 5 orbitals
