The ion that has s p 3 d 2 hybridization for the central atom is:
Options
- AB r F 2 -
- BI Cl 4 -
- CI F 6 -
- DI Cl 2 -
Correct answer
B. I Cl 4 -
Step-by-step solution
Steric number = σ + l p = 4 + 2 ;   s p 3 d 2 hybridized Steric number = σ + l p = 2 + 3 = 5 ;   s p 3 d hybridized Steric number = σ + l p = 6 + 1 = 7 ;   s p 3 d 3 hybridized Steric number = σ + l p = 2 + 3 = 5 ;   s p 3 d hybridized
