Q
Q: In which of the following compounds does the central atom exhibit dsp3 hybridization?
Solution:
In PCl5, phosphorus exhibits dsp3 hybridization, forming five P-Cl bonds.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what dsp3 hybridization means. It involves one d orbital, one s orbital, and three p orbitals mixing together.
Step 2: Identify the central atom in the given compounds. The central atom is the one that is bonded to other atoms.
Step 3: Check the number of bonds the central atom can form. For dsp3 hybridization, the central atom should form five bonds.
Step 4: Look at the example compound PCl5. The central atom is phosphorus (P).
Step 5: Count the number of chlorine (Cl) atoms bonded to phosphorus. In PCl5, there are five Cl atoms bonded to P.
Step 6: Since phosphorus forms five bonds, it uses dsp3 hybridization to accommodate these bonds.
