Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 250

Question: The hybrdization of $ IF_7 $ is [Pb. CET 2001]

Options:

A) $ sp^{3}d^{3} $

B) $ sp^{2}d $

C) $ d^{2}sp^{3} $

D) $ sp^{3} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

The electronic configuration of $ I=[Xe]\ 5s^{2},5p^{5} $ hence IF7 shows $ sp^{3}d^{2} $ hybridization. So, its structure is pentagonal bipyramidal.
