Question

What do you understand by hybridization on the basis of hybridization
discuss the structure and type of hybridization of.
i) PCI5 ii) If iii) Si Cl4 iv) SF6 v) H2O
​

Answer 1

Answer:

i) trigonal bipyramidal with sp3d (sp2+pd) hybridization

ii) linear with  sp hybridization

iii) tetrahedral with sp3 hybridization

iv)  octahedral with sp3d2 hybridization

v) bent tetrahedral with sp3 hybridization

hybridization show ratio of orbitals participation in bonding

for example in sp3, 0.75 of bond has p character and 0.25 of bond has s character
