What is the hybridization of interhalogen compounds of the type XX’3 (Bent T-shaped)?(a) sp^3d^2(b) sp(c) sp^3d(d) sp^2I have been asked this question in final exam.The query is from P-Block Elements in chapter P-Block Elements of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Right answer is (c) sp^3d

For explanation I WOULD say: The structure of all INTERHALOGEN compounds of the type XX’3involves sp^3d hybridization of the central atom X and hence they have trigonal bipyramidal GEOMETRIES or T-shaped molecules (ALSO called as see-saw).
