Question

What is the hybridization of ICN(s)?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is A $s{p}^3,s{p}^{3}d$

$ICN\left(s\right)\to \underset{\left(s{p}^3\right)}{I_{3}C{N}^{+}}+I\underset{\left(s{p}^{3}d\right)}{(CN{)}_2^{-}}$
