Question

The molecules like $BrF_{5}andXeOF_{4}$are square pyramidal in shape. What is the type of hybridisation shown in these molecules?

• A. $dsp^{3}$
• B. $dsp^{2}$
• C. $sp^{3}d$
• D. $sp^{3}d^{2}$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$sp^{3}d^{2}$

Answer 2

: $BrF_{5}$and $XeOF_{4}$ have $sp^{3}d^{2}$hybridisation hence their shape is square pyramidal.
