Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following has a central atom with sp3d hybridization?
  • Step 1: Understand what sp3d hybridization means. It involves one s orbital, three p orbitals, and one d orbital mixing together.
  • Step 2: Identify the central atom in the given molecule, which is bromine in BrF5.
  • Step 3: Count the number of bonds bromine forms with fluorine. In BrF5, bromine forms five bonds.
  • Step 4: Check for lone pairs on the central atom. Bromine in BrF5 has one lone pair.
  • Step 5: Conclude that since bromine forms five bonds and has one lone pair, it uses sp3d hybridization.
