The hybridisation present in `IF_(3)` is

Options

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

Answer

A

Explanation

Write the valence shell fonfiguration of iodine (I) to find the hybridisation type in `IF_(3)`.
I Ground stat) =

`:.` In `F_(3)` three unpaired electons are needed.
`:. IF_(3)` has `sp^(3)d` hybridisation.
2nd elecron has to be removed from completely fileld p-orbital which require large energy.
