Chapter 11: Q11.41CP (page 434)

Use partial orbital diagrams to show how the atomic orbitals of the central atom lead to the hybrid orbitals in:
$a . {IF}_{2}^{-} b . {ICI}_{3} c . {XeOF}_{4} d . {BHF}_{2}$

Short Answer

Expert verified

$a . {IF}_{2}^{-} = {sp}^{3} d hybridised b . {ICI}_{3} = {sp}^{3} d hybridised c . {XeOF}_{4} = {sp}^{3} d^{2} hybridised d . {BHF}_{2} = {sp}^{2} hybridised$

Step by step solution

Bonding

Bonding may be defined as the force of attractionbetween two or more atoms to form a compound. The molecule can have the same atom and a different atom.

Hybridisation may be defined as the mixing of the atomic orbitalto form a hybrid orbital before bonding with another atomic orbital having a similar atomic orbital.

Structure Representation

In molecule, the valence shell of I-atom and F-atom is p-orbital which requires 1 electron to fulfil the noble gas configuration for both atoms. The I-atom have 7 electrons in the valence shell and the hybridisation is sp³dwhich has geometry trigonal bipyramidal. The shape of the molecule is a bent shape having lone pair on the other position of the hybrid orbital.

Step 3: Structure Representation

In molecule, the valence shell of I-atom and Cl-atom is p-orbital which require 1 electron to fulfil the noble gas configuration for both atoms. The I-atom have 7 electrons in the valence shell and the hybridisation issp³dwhich has geometry trigonal bipyramidal. The shape of the molecule is a trigonal planar shape having lone pair on the other position of the hybrid orbital.

Structure Representation

In molecule, the valence shell of Xe-atom and F-atom used p-orbital having noble configuration and require 1 electron to fulfil the noble configuration. The F-atom have 7 electrons in the valence shell and the hybridisation is sp³d²which has geometry octahedral. The shape of the molecule is a square pyramidal shape having lone pair on the other position of the hybrid orbital.

Structure Representation

In molecule, the valence shell of B-atom, H-atom and F-atom. The b-atom and F-atom used p-orbital whereas H-atom used s-orbital. The B-atom have 3 electrons in the valence shell and the hybridisation is sp²which has geometry trigonal planar. The shape of the molecule is a trigonal planar shape having lone pair on the other position of the hybrid orbital.
