Solution

Sure, let's go through each of these one by one:

(I) [Fe(CO)5] The central atom here is Fe. It is surrounded by 5 CO ligands. Therefore, the hybridization of Fe in [Fe(CO)5] is sp3d.

(II) [Ni(CO)4] The central atom here is Ni. It is surrounded by 4 CO ligands. Therefore, the hybridization of Ni in [Ni(CO)4] is sp3.

(III) BrF5 The central atom here is Br. It is surrounded by 5 F atoms and has one lone pair. Therefore, the hybridization of Br in BrF5 is sp3d2.

(IV) N(SiH3)3 The central atom here is N. It is surrounded by 3 SiH3 groups. Therefore, the hybridization of N in N(SiH3)3 is sp3.
