Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 74
Question: Hybridisation state of chlorine in $ ClF_3 $ is [RPET 1999]
Options:
A) $ sp^{3} $
B) $ sp^{3}d $
C) $ sp^{3}d^{2} $
D) $ sp^{3}d^{3} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
$ ClF_3 $ is a $ [AB_3] $ type of molecule because it consist of three bonding pair and two lone pair of electrons hence this compound shows $ sp^{3}d $ hybridization.
