The correct Answer is:
To determine which hybridization scheme for the central atom includes a d-orbital contribution, we need to analyze the given options. The key is to identify the steric number and the resulting hybridization of the central atom in each case. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Central Atom and Its Valence Electrons:** - For each compound or ion, identify the central atom and count its valence electrons. 2. **Determine the Bonding Pairs and Lone Pairs:** - Analyze the structure to determine how many bond pairs (bonds formed with other atoms) and lone pairs (non-bonding electrons) are present around the central atom. 3. **Calculate the Steric Number:** - The steric number is calculated as the sum of the number of bond pairs and lone pairs. - Steric Number = (Number of Bond Pairs) + (Number of Lone Pairs) 4. **Determine the Hybridization:** - Use the steric number to determine the hybridization: - Steric Number 2: sp - Steric Number 3: sp² - Steric Number 4: sp³ - Steric Number 5: sp³d (involves d-orbitals) - Steric Number 6: sp³d² (involves d-orbitals) 5. **Check for d-Orbital Contribution:** - If the steric number is 5 or 6, then d-orbitals are involved in the hybridization. 6. **Evaluate the Given Options:** - Look at each option provided in the question and follow the above steps to see if any of them involve a d-orbital contribution in their hybridization. ### Conclusion: - The correct answer is the option where the central atom has a steric number of 5 or 6, indicating that d-orbitals are involved in the hybridization.
