Shape and hybridization of IF5, respecti...

Shape and hybridization of `IF_5`, respectively, are

A

Trigonal bipyramidal, `sp^3 d`

B

Sea saw, `sp^3d`

C

Square pyramidal, `sp^3 d^2`

D

Pentagonal pyramidal, `sp^3 d^3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Count the no. of bond pairs and lone–pair around the central atom.
`IF_5` : Summation of group number = 42
Bond pairs `= 42/8 = 5` (Residue 2)
Lone pair `= 2/2 = 1`
5 bond pairs, 1 lone pair means the geometry is square pyramidal.
