A molecule containing a central atom with sp³d hybridization has a(n)________ electron geometry. A) seesaw B) bent C) octahedral D) trigonal planar E) trigonal bipyramidal

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hybridization sp³d indicates five hybrid orbitals, which are used to form bonds with other atoms. The resulting electron geometry is trigonal bipyramidal, with three atoms arranged in a plane around the central atom and two more atoms located above and below the plane.
