`BrF_(3)` and `IF_(5)` both exist in ionic form, in solid state. What are the hybridizations of cationic parts of both, respectively ?

Options

A. `sp^(3), sp^(3)`
B. `sp^(3)d, sp^(3)d`
C. `sp^(3), sp^(3)d`
D. `sp^(2), sp^(3)`

Answer

C

Explanation

`BrF_(3) rarr [BrF_(2)]^(+) [BrF_(4)]^(-)`
`IF_(5) rarr [IF_(4)]^(+) [IF_(6)]^(-)`
