Q. Which of the following groups all do not have $sp^{3}\ d$ hybridisation?
A) $ClF_{3},\ IF_{3},\ XeF_{3}^{+}$
B) $ICl_{2}^{-},\ ClF_{2}^{-},I_{3}^{-}\$
C) $ClF_{3},\ BrF_{3},\ IF_{3}$
D) $PCl_{3},\ AsCl_{3},\ PF_{5}$
Explanation
(d)
$PCl_{3}$ and $AsCl_{3}$ have $sp^{3}$ hybridisation and $PF_{5}$ has $sp^{3}d$ hybridisation. Hence, in group of $PCl_{3}$ , $AsCl_{3}$ and $PF_{5}$ all do not have $sp^{3}d$ hybridisation.
