The hybridisation scheme for the central atom includes a $d$-orbital contribution in
- Correct answerA$\mathrm{I}_3^{-}$
- B$\mathrm{PCl}_3$
- C$\mathrm{NO}_3^{-}$
- D$\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Se}$
Solution
$\mathrm{I}_3^{-}$is linear with central iodine atom undergoing $s p^3 d$-hybridisation and three lone pairs occupying equatorial position.
Thus, this structure include $d$-orbital contribution to the hybridisation scheme.
The structure is,
$\mathrm{PCl}_3$ structure is $s p^3$-hybridised with one lone pair.
$\mathrm{NO}_3^{-}$is $s p^2$-hybridised and $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Se}$ is $s p^3$ - hybridised with two lone pairs of Se atom.
$\mathrm{PCl}_3$ structure is $s p^3$-hybridised with one lone pair.
$\mathrm{NO}_3^{-}$is $s p^2$-hybridised and $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Se}$ is $s p^3$ - hybridised with two lone pairs of Se atom.Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
