CI Cl-1 CI (sp, sp2, sp3, sp'd, or spd?) How many hybrid atomic orbitals of this kind does the iodine atom have in ICls? How many hybid atomic onbials of this kin does the iodine atom havein Ch,? Number O Previous & Give Up & View Solution O Check Answer 0 Next Exit

Explanation / Answer

ICl3 has sp3d hybridization formed by 3 Bond pairs of Iodine with 3 chlorine atoms and 2 Lone pairs of electrons.

The no. of hybrid atomic orbitals in ICl3 are 5.

The number of hybrid orbitals formed is equal to the number of pure atomic orbitals undergoing hybridization. Here one s orbital, 3 p orbitals and 1 d orbital intermix here to form sp3d hybridization.
