Q
Q: Which of the following has a central atom with dsp3 hybridization?
Solution:
In PCl5, the phosphorus atom is dsp3 hybridized, resulting in a trigonal bipyramidal geometry.
Steps: 5
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 compound. In PCl5, the central atom is phosphorus (P).
Step 3: Count the number of bonding pairs and lone pairs around the central atom. PCl5 has 5 chlorine atoms bonded to phosphorus, and no lone pairs.
Step 4: Determine the geometry based on the number of bonding pairs. With 5 bonding pairs, the geometry is trigonal bipyramidal.
Step 5: Conclude that since phosphorus in PCl5 has 5 bonding pairs and uses dsp3 hybridization, it confirms the hybridization type.
