Question

The trigonal bipyramidal geometry results from which hybridisation ?

• A. $ds{p}^{3}ors{p}^{3}d$
• B. $ds{p}^{2}ors{p}^{2}d$
• C. $d^{2}s{p}^{3}ors{p}^3{d}^2$
• D. $d^{3}s{p}^{2}ors{p}^3{d}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $ds{p}^{3}ors{p}^{3}d$

$ds{p}^{3}ors{p}^{3}d$ hybridization exhibit trigonal bipyramidal geometry eg. $PC{l}_5$
