Answer #1

10. Sol :-

# Hybridization (H) :- Number of bond pairs + Number of lone pairs

If H = 2, then Hybridization is sp

If H = 3, then Hybridization is sp2

If H = 4, then Hybridization is sp3

If H = 5, then Hybridization is sp3d

If H = 6, then Hybridization is sp3d2

If H = 7, then Hybridization is sp3d3

Now,

In H2F+ , H = 2 + 0 = 2, therefore hybridization is sp and molecular geometry (not including lone pairs) is Bent.

In SbF6- , H = 6 + 0 = 2, therefore hybridization is sp3d2 and molecular geometry (not including lone pairs) is Octahedral.

# Formal Charge (F.C) = Number of valance electrons (V) - Number of shared electrons (S)/2 - Number of unshared electrons (U)

So,

F.C of F in H2F+ = 7 - 4/2 - 4 = 7 - 2 - 4 = 7 - 6 = +1

F.C of Sb in SbF6-  = 5 - 12/2 - 0 = 5 - 6 = - 1
