What is the hybridization of interhalogen compounds of the type XX’3 (Bent T-shaped)?
What is the hybridization of interhalogen compounds of the type XX’3 (Bent T-shaped)? Correct Answer
The structure of all interhalogen compounds of the type XX’3 involves sp3d hybridization of the central atom X and hence they have trigonal bipyramidal geometries or T-shaped molecules (also called as see-saw).
