I want to thank your team (Jeff) for finding a new writer when you were unable to reach my existing writer to revise my paper. I appreciate your professionalism and efforts. Thanks
The hybridization of the chlorine atom in ##ClF_5## is ##sp^3d^2##.
Chlorine pentafluoride, ##ClF_5##, has a total number of 42 : 7 from the chlorine atom and 7 from each of the five fluorine atoms.
The of the chlorine pentafluoride molecule looks like this
The five fluorine atoms will be bonded to the central chlorine atom via single bonds. Thsi will account for 10 of the 42 .
Each fluorine atom will have three lone pairs of electrons, which will account for 30 out of the remaining 32 .
The last 2 valence electrons will be placed as lone pairs on the chlorine atom.
As you can see, the chlorine atom is surrounded by 6 regions of electron – five single bonds and one lone pair.
This means that its steric number, which is the number that also determines the of the atom, will be equal to 6.
In order to be able to form six hybrid orbitals, the chlorine atom will use
Therefore, the central chlorine atom is ##sp^(3)d^(2)## hybridized. The of the molecule will be square pyamidal.
