The correct Answer is:
To determine which hybridization scheme for the central atom includes a d-orbital contribution, we will calculate the steric number for each option provided. The formula for calculating the steric number (S) is: \[ S = \frac{1}{2} \times (\text{Valence electrons of central atom}) + (\text{Monovalent atoms attached}) - (\text{Cationic charge}) + (\text{Anionic charge}) \] Let's analyze each option step by step: ### Step 1: Analyze I3⁻ 1. **Identify the central atom**: Iodine (I) 2. **Valence electrons of iodine**: 7 3. **Monovalent atoms attached**: 2 (the two other iodine atoms) 4. **Cationic charge**: 0 5. **Anionic charge**: 1 Now, substitute these values into the formula: \[ S = \frac{1}{2} \times 7 + 2 - 0 + 1 = \frac{7}{2} + 2 + 1 = 3.5 + 2 + 1 = 6.5 \] Since we round to the nearest whole number, we get \( S = 5 \). This corresponds to **sp³d hybridization**, which includes d-orbital contribution. ### Step 2: Analyze PCl3 1. **Identify the central atom**: Phosphorus (P) 2. **Valence electrons of phosphorus**: 5 3. **Monovalent atoms attached**: 3 (the three chlorine atoms) 4. **Cationic charge**: 0 5. **Anionic charge**: 0 Now, substitute these values into the formula: \[ S = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 + 3 - 0 + 0 = \frac{5}{2} + 3 = 2.5 + 3 = 5.5 \] Rounding gives us \( S = 4 \). This corresponds to **sp³ hybridization**, which does not include d-orbital contribution. ### Step 3: Analyze NO3⁻ 1. **Identify the central atom**: Nitrogen (N) 2. **Valence electrons of nitrogen**: 5 3. **Monovalent atoms attached**: 3 (the three oxygen atoms) 4. **Cationic charge**: 0 5. **Anionic charge**: 1 Now, substitute these values into the formula: \[ S = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 + 3 - 0 + 1 = \frac{5}{2} + 3 + 1 = 2.5 + 3 + 1 = 6.5 \] Rounding gives us \( S = 3 \). This corresponds to **sp² hybridization**, which does not include d-orbital contribution. ### Step 4: Analyze H2Se 1. **Identify the central atom**: Selenium (Se) 2. **Valence electrons of selenium**: 6 3. **Monovalent atoms attached**: 2 (the two hydrogen atoms) 4. **Cationic charge**: 0 5. **Anionic charge**: 0 Now, substitute these values into the formula: \[ S = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 + 2 - 0 + 0 = 3 + 2 = 5 \] This corresponds to **sp³ hybridization**, which does not include d-orbital contribution. ### Conclusion From the analysis above, only **I3⁻** has a hybridization scheme that includes d-orbital contribution, specifically **sp³d hybridization**. The other options (PCl3, NO3⁻, and H2Se) do not involve d-orbital contributions. ### Final Answer The hybridization scheme for the central atom that includes a d-orbital contribution is found in **I3⁻**.

To determine which hybridization scheme for the central atom includes a d-orbital contribution, we will calculate the steric number for each option provided.
