Draw the Lewis structure for BrF₄^-.What is the hybridization on the Br atom? A)sp³d² B)sp³d C)sp³ D)sp² E)sp

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A. The hybridization on the Br atom is sp3d2. This is because the Br atom has 7 valence electrons, and it forms 4 bonds with the F atoms and 2 lone pairs of electrons. The sp3d2 hybridization allows the Br atom to have the correct geometry and number of bonds.
