Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The set of hybrid orbitals shown in the image is sp3d, which means the central atom has five hybrid orbitals. Among the given options, only option C has a central atom (S) with five hybrid orbitals that can form bonds with the non-central atoms (N, O, P). Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
