What is the hybridization of interhalogen compounds of the type XX’5(Square pyramidal)?
What is the hybridization of interhalogen compounds of the type XX’5(Square pyramidal)? Correct Answer sp3d2
The structure of all interhalogen compounds of the type XX’5 involves sp3d2 hybridization of the central halogen atom X and hence have octahedral (also called square pyramidal) geometry and with one position occupied by a lone pair.
