Answer» (1)Hybridisation of sf6 is sp3d2 (2) The nitrogen atom in NH3 is sp3 hybridized. In NH3 molecule, three of the sp3 orbitals are used to form bonds to the three hydrogen atoms and the fourth sp3 orbital is used to hold the lone pair. (3) Since CH4 has four H's (four groups) on its central carbon atom, it's sp3 hybridized and takes a tetrahedral shape. (4) The original ClF molecule is not hypervalent, and does have sp3 hybridization on both atoms. When chlorine turns into a cationic center, it is keeping its sp3 hybridization and is able to accept two fluorine atoms. Resonance allows the axial fluorine atoms to be kept in place by the chlorine atom in ClF3. (5) The hybridization of P in PCl5 is sp3d. The P atom needs five orbitals to form the five P-Cl bonds . It has a 3s and three 3p orbitals, so it must use one of its 3d orbitals to form the fifth bond.These orbitals are hybridized to form five sp3d orbitals and thus form a trigonal bipyramid. |
