65. The hybridization of the central atom in ICI is(a)spod(b) sp(c) sp2(d) sp |
|
Answer» optiond) sp^3TheICl2+IClX2X+ion can thus be explained by assuming one double-filled s- and one double filled p-orbital plus two half-filled p-orbitals on iodine. Each of the two half-filled orbitals then create a normalσσ-bonds to a corresponding p-orbital of one of the chlorine atoms, predicting a bond angle of 90° (closer to 98° than if we assumed sp³-hybridisation which would suggest 109.5°). |
