In which one of the following species the central atom has the type of hybridization which is not the same as that present in the other three ?

  1. SF4
  2. I3-
  3. SbCl52-
  4. PCl5

Answer

(3) SbCl52-

Solution

Steric number = σ bonds + lone pairs on the central atom.

SF4: 4 + 1 = 5 ⇒ sp3d

I3-: 2 + 3 = 5 ⇒ sp3d

PCl5: 5 + 0 = 5 ⇒ sp3d

SbCl52-: Sb has 5 valence electrons + 2 (charge) = 7; 5 used in bonds, so 1 lone pair

⇒ 5 + 1 = 6 ⇒ sp3d2 (square pyramidal)

∴ SbCl52- differs from the other three.
