g Predict the hybridization about the central atom in the given structure. A molecule with atom Y single bonded with 3 X substituents. The Y atom has two lone pairs.

Respuesta :

Answer:

sp3d

Explanation:

The Central atom Y is singly bonded to 3 X substituents and it has two lone pairs.

An example of compound that fits this description is BrF3.

The central atom used d orbitals for hybridization.

The 2 lone pair plus three single bond equals 5.

As the hybridization value is equal to 5 it gives rise to sp3d hybrid orbitals.
