Which of the following molecular geometries could describe a compound with a central atom that is dsp3 hybridized?
Question
Which of the following molecular geometries could describe a compound with a central atom that is dsp3 hybridized?
Solution
A dsp3 hybridization corresponds to a central atom that is surrounded by five regions of electron density. These five regions form a trigonal bipyramidal molecular geometry. Therefore, a compound with a central atom that is dsp3 hybridized could have a trigonal bipyramidal molecular geometry.
