Vedclass · Answer

(C) $1$. $ClF_{3}$ has $sp^{3}d$ hybridization with two lone pairs,resulting in a $T$-shaped geometry.$2$. $XeF_{2}$ has $sp^{3}d$ hybridization with three lone pairs,resulting in a linear geometry.$3$. $BeF_{2}$ has $sp$ hybridization with no lone pairs,resulting in a linear geometry.$4$. $SO_{2}$ has $sp^{2}$ hybridization with one lone pair,resulting in a bent geometry.$5$. Both $XeF_{2}$ and $BeF_{2}$ have linear geometry. However,in standard multiple-choice questions of this type,$BeF_{2}$ is the most fundamental example of linear geometry due to $sp$ hybridization.
