The `AsF_5` molecule is trigonal bipyramidal. The orbitals used by As for hybridisation areA. `d_(x^(2)-y^(2)),d_(z^(2),s),p_(x,)p_(y)`B. `d_(xy),s,p_(x),p_(y),p_(z)`C. `s, p_(x),p_(y),p_(z),d_(z^(2))`D. `d_(x^(2)-y^(2)),s,p_(x),p_(y),p_(z)`.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
For trigonal bipyramidal, the hybridisation is `sp^(3)` d which involves `s, p_(x), p_(y), p_(z) and d_(z^(2))` orbitals.
