Practice MCQ for SSC, UPSC, RRB Exams

A. sp³ A.
B. sp³d B.
C. sp³d² C.
D. dsp² D.

Correct Answer: C সঠিক উত্তর: C

Explanation ব্যাখ্যা

The hybridization of the central sulfur atom in SF₆ is sp³d².

Six sigma bonds:
In SF₆, the sulfur atom forms six single bonds with six fluorine atoms, requiring six hybrid orbitals.
sp³d² hybridization:
To accommodate six bonds, the sulfur atom needs to hybridize its one s orbital, three p orbitals, and two d orbitals to create six sp³d² hybrid orbitals.
