Question

Which molecule does not have the same type of hybridisation as P has in PF5 ?

(a) CIF3

(c) XeF 4

(b) SF 4.

(d) XeF2​

Answer 1

Answer:

(c) XeF₄

Explanation:

Hybridization of P on PF₅ = sp³d

Hybridization of ClF₃ = sp³d

Hybridization of XeF₄ = sp³d²

Hybridization of SF₄ = sp³d

Hybridization of XeF₂ = sp³d

Answer 2

Answer:

XeF4 molecule does not have the same type of hybridisation as P has in PF5
