Q
Q: Which of the following species exhibits sp3d hybridization?
Solution:
In SF4, the sulfur atom is sp3d hybridized, resulting in a seesaw molecular geometry.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
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 species you are examining. In this case, we are looking at SF4, where sulfur (S) is the central atom.
Step 3: Count the number of electron pairs around the central atom (sulfur). In SF4, sulfur has 4 bonding pairs (with fluorine) and 1 lone pair.
Step 4: Determine the total number of electron pairs. In SF4, there are 5 electron pairs (4 bonding + 1 lone pair).
Step 5: Recognize that 5 electron pairs require sp3d hybridization to accommodate them.
Step 6: Conclude that since sulfur in SF4 has 5 electron pairs, it is sp3d hybridized, leading to a seesaw molecular geometry.
