MCQ
The trigonal bipyramidal geometry results from the hybridisation
  • $ds{p^3}$ or $s{p^3}d$
  • B
    $ds{p^2}$ or $s{p^2}d$
  • C
    ${d^2}s{p^3}$ or $s{p^3}{d^2}$
  • D
    ${d^3}s{p^2}$ or ${d^2}s{p^3}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$ds{p^3}$ or $s{p^3}d$
(a) $ds{p^3}$ or $s{p^3}d$ hybridization exhibit trigonal bipyramidal geometry e.g.,  $P{Cl}_5$

$sp^3d^2$(Trigonal bipyramidal)
