The AsF5 molecule is trigonal bipyramida...

The `AsF_5` molecule is trigonal bipyramidal. The orbitals used by As for hybridisation are

A

`d_(x^(2)-y^(2)),d_(z^(2)),s,p_(x,)p_(y)`

B

`d_(xy),s,p_(x),p_(y),p_(z)`

C

`s, p_(x),p_(y),p_(z),d_(z^(2))`

D

`d_(x^(2)-y^(2)),s,p_(x),p_(y),p_(z)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
For trigonal bipyramidal, the hybridisation is `sp^(3)` d which involves `s, p_(x), p_(y), p_(z) and d_(z^(2))` orbitals.
