Hybridisation is a concept of mixing of ...

Hybridisation is a concept of mixing of atomic orbital of almost equal energy, with the help of hybridisation shape of the molecules can be determined.
`(bp + lp) =` Number of atom attached to central atom `+ (1)/(2) ["Valance" e^(-) "of central atom - Number of" e^(-)s "taking part in hybridisation" +- "charge"]`
What is the hybridisation and shape of `BrF_(5)` ?

A

`sp^(3)d`, Triangular bipyramidal

B

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

C

`sp^(3)d^(3)`, Pentagonal bipyramidal

D

`sp^(3)d^(2)`, Distorted octahedral

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The shape of `BrF_(5)` is distorted octahedral and the hybridisation is `sp^(3)d^(2)`.
