Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 255
Question: The trigonal bipyramidal geometry results from the hybridisation
Options:
A) $ dsp^{3} $ or $ sp^{3}d $
B) $ dsp^{2} $ or $ sp^{2}d $
C) $ d^{2}sp^{3} $ or $ sp^{3}d^{2} $
D) $ d^{3}sp^{2} $ or $ d^{2}sp^{3} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
$ dsp^{3} $ or $ sp^{3}d $ hybridization exhibit trigonal bipyramidal geometry e.g., PCl5
