Vedclass · Answer

(A) $1$. The central atom in $ICl_4^-$ is Iodine $(I)$.$2$. The valence shell configuration of $I$ is $5s^2 5p^5$.$3$. The number of electron pairs around $I$ is calculated as: $\frac{1}{2} 	imes (7 + 4 + 1) = 6$.$4$. This corresponds to $sp^3d^2$ hybridization.$5$. In $sp^3d^2$ hybridization,the two $d-$ orbitals involved are $d_{z^2}$ and $d_{x^2-y^2}$ to accommodate the square planar geometry with two lone pairs in the axial positions.

The $d-$ orbitals which are involved in the hybridization of the central atom in $ICl_4^-$ are:
