Interpretation: The electron dot stricture of P, S, and I atoms in
Concept Introduction: An electron dot structure represents the arrangement of total valence electrons in a molecule. Here, electrons are represented as dots in pairs around the symbol of atoms of the molecule.
VSEPR theory is used to predict the molecular shape with the help of electron pairs around the central atoms of the molecule. It is based on the assumption that the shape of the molecule is such that there is minimum electronic repulsion between the valence shell and the atom.
Explanation of Solution
In
For the central atom, the sum of bonding electron pairs and non-bonding electron pairs is 5 thus, the hybridization of the central atom will be
In
For the central atom, the sum of bonding electron pairs and non-bonding electron pairs is 6; thus, the hybridization of the central atom will be
In
For the central atom, the sum of bonding electron pairs and non-bonding electron pairs is 7; thus, the hybridization of the central atom will be
