MCQ
In TeCl4​, the central atom tellurium involves:
  • A
    sp3 hybridisation
  • B
    sp3d hybridisation
  • C
    dsp2 hybridisation
  • D
    sp3d2 hybridisation

Answer

  1. sp3d hybridisation

Explanation:

Number of hybrid orbitals =$\frac{1}{2}$​ (no. of electrons in valence shell of atom + no. of monovalent atoms - charge no cation + charge on the anion.

Number of hybride orbitals =$\frac{1}{2}$​(6+4+0+0) = 5

Hence, TeCl4​ shows sp3d hybridisation.
