Among the following molecules : `SO_(2),SF_(4) ,CIF_(3) ,BrF_(5)` , and `XeF_(4)` , which of the following shapes does not describe any of the molecules mentioned ?

A

`dsp^(3)`

B

`dsp^(2)`

C

`sp^(3)d`

D

`sp^(3)d^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`BrF_(5) and XeOF_(4)` have `sp^(3) d^(2)` hybridisation hence their shape is square pyramidal.
