Vedclass · Answer

(C) Let us analyze each molecule:$1$. $PF_5$: Hybridization is $sp^3d$. It has $5$ identical $P-F$ bonds (trigonal bipyramidal geometry) and no lone pair on the central atom.$2$. $XeF_4$: Hybridization is $sp^3d^2$. It has a square planar geometry with $2$ lone pairs on the central atom.$3$. $SF_4$: Hybridization is $sp^3d$. It has a see-saw geometry with $1$ lone pair on the central atom. Due to the presence of the lone pair,the axial and equatorial bond lengths are different.$4$. $XeF_2$: Hybridization is $sp^3d$. It has a linear geometry with $3$ lone pairs on the central atom. The $Xe-F$ bonds are identical.Therefore,$SF_4$ satisfies all three conditions: $(a)$ $sp^3d$ hybridization,$(b)$ different bond lengths,and $(c)$ one lone pair on the central atom.

Molecule	Hybridisation of central atom	Shape
$(a)$ $PCl_5$	$dsp^3$	square pyramidal
$(b)$ $[Ni(CN)_4]^{2-}$	$sp^3$	tetrahedral
$(c)$ $SF_6$	$sp^3d^2$	octahedral
$(d)$ $IF_3$	$dsp^3$	pyramidal

Which among the following molecules is $(a)$ involved in $sp^3d$ hybridization,$(b)$ has different bond lengths and $(c)$ has a lone pair of electrons on the central atom?
