The hybridization of the central atom and the shape of $\left[\mathrm{IO}_{2} \mathrm{~F}_{5}\right]^{2-}$ ion respectively, are -

  • A
    Figure
  • B
    Figure
  • C
    Figure
  • Correct answer
    D
    Figure

Solution

$\left[\mathrm{IO}_{2} \mathrm{~F}_{5}^{-}\right]^{2-}$ ion Hybridisation is $\mathrm{sp}^{3} \mathrm{~d}^{3}$ shape is pentagonal bipyramidal Double bond cause more repulsion so they would be on Axial position $180^{\circ}$ angle to each other so shape is Figure

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
