Vedclass · Answer

(C) The hybridization of the central atom determines the $d-$ orbitals involved in bonding.For $PBr^{+}_4$,the central atom $P$ has $4$ bonding pairs and $0$ lone pairs,resulting in $sp^3$ hybridization.For $PCl^{-}_4$,the central atom $P$ has $4$ bonding pairs and $1$ lone pair,resulting in $sp^3d$ hybridization.For $ICl^{-}_4$,the central atom $I$ has $4$ bonding pairs and $2$ lone pairs,resulting in $sp^3d^2$ hybridization.In $sp^3d^2$ hybridization,the $d-$ orbitals involved are $d_{z^2}$ and $d_{x^2-y^2}$,which are the axial set of $d-$ orbitals.Therefore,$ICl^{-}_4$ is the correct species.

Which of the following species uses both axial set of $d-$ orbitals in the hybridization of the central atom?
